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[With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law; and every time they make a law it's a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28060]]></link><description><![CDATA[With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law; and every time they make a law it's a joke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With tooth and nail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48539]]></link><description><![CDATA[With tooth and nail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was like a battleground, helicopters, fire engines, my car door was crushed like an accordion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29431]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was like a battleground, helicopters, fire engines, my car door was crushed like an accordion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is my refuge.
