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[Every bonus point counts when you are trying to win it all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every bonus point counts when you are trying to win it all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During this period he has always been extremely fair in working with us to keep the cost at a minimum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35562]]></link><description><![CDATA[During this period he has always been extremely fair in working with us to keep the cost at a minimum while providing maximum exposure.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item></channel></rss>
