It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chad brings the bulk of the ideas to the table, and we all polish and rework the ideas he comes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chad brings the bulk of the ideas to the table, and we all polish and rework the ideas he comes up with.
