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[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To ask that which is unjust at the hands of the just, is an injustice in itself; to expect that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50894]]></link><description><![CDATA[To ask that which is unjust at the hands of the just, is an injustice in itself; to expect that which is just from the unjust, is simple folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind contracts herself and shrinketh in, And to herself she gladly doth retire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56294]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind contracts herself and shrinketh in, And to herself she gladly doth retire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, no!
