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[Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cultivation of the mind is a kind of food supplied for the soul of man. [Lat., Animi cultus quasi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cultivation of the mind is a kind of food supplied for the soul of man. [Lat., Animi cultus quasi quidam humanitatis cibus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45267]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les boeufs.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our minds can work for us or against us at any given moment.

St. Paul did not establish himself in a place and go on preaching for years to men who refused to act on his teaching. When once he had brought them to a point where decision was clear, he reminded that they should make their choice. If they rejected him, he rejected them... He did not simply "go away"; he openly rejected those who showed themselves unworthy of his teaching. It was part of the Gospel that men might "judge themselves unworthy of eternal life". It is a question which needs serious consideration whether the Gospel can be truly preached if this element is left out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The logic of the heart is absurd ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The logic of the heart is absurd]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proof of the pudding is in the eating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proof of the pudding is in the eating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pine for kindred natures To mingle with our own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58524]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pine for kindred natures To mingle with our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To hear is to heed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50408]]></link><description><![CDATA[To hear is to heed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59618]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise traveler never despises his own country. [It., Un viaggiatore prudente non disprezza mai il suo paese.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was surprised at the fact that AXA Financial had spent so much time and money trying to build DLJ, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42445]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was surprised at the fact that AXA Financial had spent so much time and money trying to build DLJ, especially build its presence in Europe the last couple of years and now it's pulling the ripcord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world.
