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[The U.S. is fully an attractive place to invest; it's the safest country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The U.S. is fully an attractive place to invest; it's the safest country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Penetration seems a kind of inspiration; it gives me an idea of prophecy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Penetration seems a kind of inspiration; it gives me an idea of prophecy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't return a favor, pass it on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22007]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't return a favor, pass it on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
