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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At least when you are dead you will know what silence truly sounds like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11420]]></link><description><![CDATA[At least when you are dead you will know what silence truly sounds like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9355]]></link><description><![CDATA[In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66031]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't get anywhere without the people who have come into your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63974]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't get anywhere without the people who have come into your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most perfect way of seeking God, and the most suitable order, is not for us to attempt with bold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7611]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most perfect way of seeking God, and the most suitable order, is not for us to attempt with bold curiosity to penetrate to the investigation of His essence, which we ought more to adore than meticulously to search out, but for us to contemplate Him in His works, whereby He renders Himself near and familiar to us, and in some manner communicates Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This peck of troubles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59722]]></link><description><![CDATA[This peck of troubles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17277]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to keep order and security so that there will not be any negative side effects.
