He has called some to be "player-coaches" ... to equip the laity for the ministry they are to fulfill. This equipping ministry is of unique importance. One is appointed to this ministry by the Holy Spirit; therefore it must be undertaken with utmost seriousness. This is a radical departure from the traditional understanding of the roles of the laity and the clergy. The laity had the idea that they were already committed to a "full-time" vocation in the secular world, [and] thus they did not have time -- at least, much time -- to do God's work. Therefore they contributed money to "free" the clergy to have the time needed to fulfill God's ministry. This view is rank heresy. If we follow this pattern, we may continue to do God's work until the Lord comes again and never fulfill God's purpose as it ought to be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever said, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts," probably lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever said, "It's not whether you win or lose that counts," probably lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think Nature hath lost the mould Where she her shape did take;  Or else I doubt if Nature ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61916]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think Nature hath lost the mould Where she her shape did take;  Or else I doubt if Nature could   So fair a creature make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist.
