Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people. - Broken Vessels, 1991.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!  What freezings have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/159]]></link><description><![CDATA[How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!  What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!   What old December's bareness everywhere!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Will Rogers] was America's most complete human document.

More learned, the formal logic of the schools would have robbed him of that flower of simplicity which is the great charm of his life; he would have seen the whole extent of the sore of the Church, and would no doubt have despaired of healing it. If he had known ecclesiastical discipline, he would have felt obliged to observe it; but, thanks to his ignorance, he could often violate it without knowing it, and be a heretic quite unawares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?'

Each part of the Scripture is to be read with the same Spirit wherewith it was written. We should rather search after profit in Scriptures, than subtilty of speech. We ought to read plain and devout books as willingly as high and profound. Let not the authority of the writer offend thee, whether he be of great or small learning; but let the love of pure truth draw thee to read. Search not who spoke this or that, but mark what is spoken. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord remaineth forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you make your bed, so you must lie in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47235]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All theological language is necessarily analogical, but it was singularly unfortunate that the Church, in speaking of punishment for sin, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118]]></link><description><![CDATA[All theological language is necessarily analogical, but it was singularly unfortunate that the Church, in speaking of punishment for sin, should have chosen the analogy of criminal law, for the analogy is incompatible with the Christian belief in God as the creator of Man. Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far and as wide as you possibly can?

No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties... I learned from my professors of philosophy... that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We looked at the future map and it said agriculture.
