But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy is that when a precision bomb hits a gas station surrounded by cottages, you discover that you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41761]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy is that when a precision bomb hits a gas station surrounded by cottages, you discover that you can't fight a humanitarian war in a humane way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612]]></link><description><![CDATA[May I govern my passions with absolute sway, And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38320]]></link><description><![CDATA[It certainly is the duty of every true Christian, to esteem himself a stranger and pilgrim in this world; and as bound to use earthly blessings, not as means of satisfying lust or gratifying wantonness, but of supplying his absolute wants and necessities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3011]]></link><description><![CDATA[For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is wine upon the lips. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is wine upon the lips.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few maxims are true in every respect ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few maxims are true in every respect]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't go near the water until you learn how to swim. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't go near the water until you learn how to swim.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law of nature is the strictest expression of necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The law of nature is the strictest expression of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He always told me that he only had two or three. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31843]]></link><description><![CDATA[He always told me that he only had two or three.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American is the crucible of God.
