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[You know it ain't easy For these thoughts here to leave meThere's no words to describe itIn French or in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11931]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know it ain't easy For these thoughts here to leave meThere's no words to describe itIn French or in EnglishWell, diamonds they fadeAnd flowers they bloomAnd I'm telling youThese feelings won't go awayThey've been knockin' me sidewaysThey've been knockin' me out latelyWhenever you come around meThese feelings won't go away They've been knockin' me sidewaysI keep thinking in a moment thatTime will take them awayBut these feelings won't go away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[October's foliage yellows with his cold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44901]]></link><description><![CDATA[October's foliage yellows with his cold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's often just enough to be with someone.
