But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand;  Ring out the darkness of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand;  Ring out the darkness of the land;   Ring in the Christ that is to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never heard of a comedy team that didn't fight, did you? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30862]]></link><description><![CDATA[You never heard of a comedy team that didn't fight, did you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Energy and persistence alter all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Energy and persistence alter all things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The women also ... are given a quiz asking them what's their primary form of contraception and their second form ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37751]]></link><description><![CDATA[The women also ... are given a quiz asking them what's their primary form of contraception and their second form of contraception, and it has to match up to what the practitioner said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46681]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the catching ends the pleasure of the chase]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is ever seeking to get down to us -- to be the divine man in us.

And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the results of the team are indicative of decisions that were made by the board two years ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41797]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the results of the team are indicative of decisions that were made by the board two years ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either team can win on any given night.
