Or dare we do what our Lord did, and see the Name hallowed in all life that is real and honest and good? Indeed, it was a scandal to the religious men of Jesus' day when they saw what He did with sacred things. With Jesus all life was sacred and nothing was profane until sin entered in.

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[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diamond's virtues well might grace The epigram, and both excel  In brilliancy in smallest space,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diamond's virtues well might grace The epigram, and both excel  In brilliancy in smallest space,   And power to cut as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hear every kind of story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33615]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hear every kind of story.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52838]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be correspondent to command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51492]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be correspondent to command.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63223]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices continue to climb even though construction is under way.
