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[It doesn't seem like very long ago that we were the new kids on the block, and really tried to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29989]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't seem like very long ago that we were the new kids on the block, and really tried to claw our way up from the rear of the pack, so it's a very exciting feeling for us to come in and be as confident as we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never write a letter if you can help it, and never destroy one! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never write a letter if you can help it, and never destroy one!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men.
