At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was love.

There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's great to call up somebody in the community to help out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41548]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's great to call up somebody in the community to help out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure there are poets which did never dream Upon Parnassus, nor did taste the stream  Of Helicon; we therefore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sure there are poets which did never dream Upon Parnassus, nor did taste the stream  Of Helicon; we therefore may suppose   Those made not poets, but the poets those.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That were to blow at fire in hope to quench it; For who digs hills because they do aspire  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43316]]></link><description><![CDATA[That were to blow at fire in hope to quench it; For who digs hills because they do aspire  Throws down one mountain to cast up a higher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appearances often are deceiving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Appearances often are deceiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43007]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expect icy conditions and drive in such a manner.

It is interesting to note that in the first centuries of the Christian era many demoniacal phenomena appeared in countries in the course of being converted from idolatry to Christianity. The same is true of pagan civilisation today. In my research into the fourth century, I was surprised to find a great recrudescence of magical practices at the very moment when Roman civilization under Constantine was about to be snatched away bodily from paganism and enter... into the kingdom of the Son; at that time, all the rites of sorcery took on an incredible virulence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coast was clear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coast was clear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ''need'' cancer because, by the very fact of its insurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35763]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ''need'' cancer because, by the very fact of its insurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What are our lame praises in comparison with His love?
