Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now we shall possess a right definition of faith if we call it a firm and certain knowledge of God's benevolence toward us, founded upon the truth of the freely given promise in Christ, both revealed to our minds and sealed upon our hearts through the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could do it all over again, I would.
