It arises in and flows through a life hid with Christ in God. Its source is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the potency of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual power is the child of two parents: the truth as it is revealed in Jesus and our own experience resulting upon our acceptance of Him and His truth. The objective factor is that whole set of facts and truths, of historic events, and of interpretation of them, which is held by the church and set forth in the Bible. The subjective factor is what happens in the crucible of your life and mine when we accept the set of facts and truths and interpretations, and it begins to work in us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50867]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217]]></link><description><![CDATA[The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had great team strategy and a really good run to make it to the head of the pack.
