At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65048]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Off-the-rack solutions, like bargain basement dresses, never fit anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Off-the-rack solutions, like bargain basement dresses, never fit anymore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not a new network.

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though language forms the preacher, 'Tis "good works" make the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though language forms the preacher, 'Tis "good works" make the man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom comes by disillusionment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very important that we have access to safe, legal pregnancy termination services, whether it is emergency contraceptives right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31443]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very important that we have access to safe, legal pregnancy termination services, whether it is emergency contraceptives right after the assault or an abortion service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one of your dreams come true, you begin to look at the others more carefully. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65539]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one of your dreams come true, you begin to look at the others more carefully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some authors should be paid by the quantity NOT written.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will never try to develop a strategy that wins on price.
