He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26468]]></link><description><![CDATA[A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With evil omens from the harbour sails The ill-fated ship that worthless Arnold bears;  God of the southern winds, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59643]]></link><description><![CDATA[With evil omens from the harbour sails The ill-fated ship that worthless Arnold bears;  God of the southern winds, call up thy gales,   And whistle in rude fury round his ears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never Explain--your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never Explain--your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12835]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wait, all that happens is that you get older. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41651]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The integrity of the list depends on the information districts input. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41901]]></link><description><![CDATA[The integrity of the list depends on the information districts input.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  Although ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  Although tares, or impure vessels, are found in the church, yet this is not a reason why we should withdraw from it. It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.
