Yet this was not God's way, Who had the power,  But set it by, choosing the cross, the thorn,  The sorrowful wounds.

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[We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20008]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning.

There it stands, built for no earthly purpose, different in shape, and in all things belonging to it, from earthly habitations; speaking only of heaven, and heavenly uses, and heavenly gifts, and heavenly blessings; the gate of heaven when we are brought into it as little children to Christ; the gate of heaven, if so God grant us, when we are brought to it, and pass through it the last time on our way to our grave beside it.
