I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65609]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rank and riches are chains of gold, but still chains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rank and riches are chains of gold, but still chains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The administration believes it's in the best interest at this time to ban both research as well as reproductive cloning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31973]]></link><description><![CDATA[The administration believes it's in the best interest at this time to ban both research as well as reproductive cloning because the easy step that moves us across that line we all agree is reprehensible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51165]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are the children of a technological age.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old begin to complain of the conduct of the young when they themselves are no longer able to set ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14382]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old begin to complain of the conduct of the young when they themselves are no longer able to set a bad example]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few days ago some thought they were going to wipe us off the map.
