But this distinction is only a very small part of the difference, and as such is in itself incorrect. Both of these words may convey intense emotion or may be relatively weak in their meanings. These words do not indicate degree of love, but kinds of love. Agapao refers to love which arises from a keen sense of the value and worth in the object of our love, and phileo describes the emotional attachment which results from intimate and prolonged association. That is why in the Scriptures we are never commanded to "love" with the word phileo. Even when husbands and wives are instructed to love one another, the word agapao is used, for it is impossible to command that kind of love which can arise only from intimate association. On the other hand, the saints are admonished to appreciate profoundly the worth and value in others, and agapao is used to convey this meaning. All Christians are not necessarily to have sentimental attachments for one another (phileo). This would be impossible, for our circle of intimate friends is limited by the nature of our lives. But we can all be commanded to appreciate intensely the worth of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More importantly, Arroyo and her defenders must stop attacking the Senate for its probes and allow the truth to come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31116]]></link><description><![CDATA[More importantly, Arroyo and her defenders must stop attacking the Senate for its probes and allow the truth to come out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanksgiving (U.S.)  I thank Thee, O Lord God, that though with liberal hand Thou hast at all times showered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8173]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving (U.S.)  I thank Thee, O Lord God, that though with liberal hand Thou hast at all times showered thy blessing upon our human kind, yet in Jesus Christ Thou hast done greater Things for us than Thou ever didst before:  Making home sweeter and friends dearer:  Turning sorrow into gladness and pain into the soul's victory:  Robbing death of its sting:  Robbing sin of its power Making peace more peaceful and joy more joyful and faith and hope more secure.

We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It needs some intelligence to be truly selfish.
