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[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It is easy to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915  It is easy to throw angels and demons and the cosmic character and relevance of Christ's work upon the scrap heap of ancient superstition and mythology, and to consider them but a manner of speech that is utterly irrelevant for our space age. But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have asked the leaders to settle the issues fast and reach a compromise as it will permit the Iraqi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36216]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have asked the leaders to settle the issues fast and reach a compromise as it will permit the Iraqi parliament to complete the draft constitution in time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rather than go through such a pointlessly repetitive exercise, the court ruled that the chief of the Forest Service properly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rather than go through such a pointlessly repetitive exercise, the court ruled that the chief of the Forest Service properly adopted the broad moratorium through an agency-wide rule,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2138]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love because it's the only true adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two for a kiss Only one for a sigh,  Twain by twain we marry   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9115]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two for a kiss Only one for a sigh,  Twain by twain we marry   One by one we die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It should be a pretty quiet day.
