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[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That men by reason will it calle may The daisie or elles the eye of day  The emperice, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10986]]></link><description><![CDATA[That men by reason will it calle may The daisie or elles the eye of day  The emperice, and floure of floures alle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many bad policies are simply good policies taken too far. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many bad policies are simply good policies taken too far.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I act like sh*t don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy, my insecurities could eat me alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21043]]></link><description><![CDATA[I act like sh*t don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy, my insecurities could eat me alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that's bright must fade,-- The brightest still the fleetest;  All that's sweet was made   But to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50689]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that's bright must fade,-- The brightest still the fleetest;  All that's sweet was made   But to be lost when sweetest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness.

You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands.
