It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're setting up investment banking now ... people will be on the ground this year.
