All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17).

At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne, Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold;  Purple ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4407]]></link><description><![CDATA[The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne, Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold;  Purple the sails, and so perfumed that   The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,    Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made     The water which they beat to follow faster,      As amorous of their strokes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are always sweeter: Stolen kisses much completer;  Stolen looks are nice in chapels:   Stolen, stolen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are always sweeter: Stolen kisses much completer;  Stolen looks are nice in chapels:   Stolen, stolen be your apples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one inevitable criterion of judgment touching religious faith in doctrinal matters.
