Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31493]]></link><description><![CDATA[When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we see something which you do not see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
