Most of the time, those players aren't willing tosacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, inthe end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individualgoals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullestis that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accoladeswill take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork andintelligence win championships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Duct tape is like the force.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The acquisition is significant because it contains stunning ancient redwood trees in an area of the redwood range where there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The acquisition is significant because it contains stunning ancient redwood trees in an area of the redwood range where there is relatively little old growth left.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17716]]></link><description><![CDATA[God enters by a private door into every individual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10207]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are Batavian graces in all he says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The increase in gasoline prices and the prospect of a long, expensive winter is depressing sentiment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39110]]></link><description><![CDATA[The increase in gasoline prices and the prospect of a long, expensive winter is depressing sentiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 Am I a stone, and not a sheep,  That I can stand, 0 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 Am I a stone, and not a sheep,  That I can stand, 0 Christ, beneath Thy cross,  To number drop by drop Thy Blood's slow loss,  And yet not weep?

In the confusion of spiritual phenomena, ... it was possible that evil spirits, as well as the Holy Spirit, inspired some of the manifestations. One in particular Paul singles out as being in obvious contradiction to the work of the Spirit of God: "No man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema (cursed)". On the other hand, "No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit" (I Cor. 12:3). It is difficult to conceive the state of mind of a member of a Christian congregation who would curse the name of Jesus. Yet it is evident that at Corinth, people gave way to such uncontrollable frenzy that, either in folly or in momentary reversion to Judaism or heathenism, they cursed the name in whose honour they had met... But the spirit that inspired disloyalty to Jesus Christ could not be the Holy Spirit, for in Paul's experience and theology, the two beings were, if not identical, at least in perfect harmony of principle and action. This, then, was Paul's first criterion for deciding which spiritual phenomena could be approved by Christians as the work of the Holy Spirit. They must be loyal to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, and as the object of faith and love for every believer.
