Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion will be outlawed in a number of states, but that doesn't mean it will be banned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abortion will be outlawed in a number of states, but that doesn't mean it will be banned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was certainly versatile.

They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society's problems are deep, but the individual's problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hizbullah is not a militia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hizbullah is not a militia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So unlucky that he runs into accidents which started out to happen to somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26040]]></link><description><![CDATA[So unlucky that he runs into accidents which started out to happen to somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have an infinate number of monkeys and an infinate number of Sparcs, they will eventually code Solaris. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57110]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have an infinate number of monkeys and an infinate number of Sparcs, they will eventually code Solaris.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With light volume, we're going to bounce around like a ping-pong ball.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63398]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite all of the known benefits of exercise, there are also well-documented associations between acute episodes of exertion and sudden ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite all of the known benefits of exercise, there are also well-documented associations between acute episodes of exertion and sudden cardiac death.

Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46382]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish they would only take me as I am. - Dear Theo: Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46382</guid></item></channel></rss>
