The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there was a Metro station at City Center, this would be a completely different discussion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36383]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there was a Metro station at City Center, this would be a completely different discussion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows.

Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27303]]></link><description><![CDATA[In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is folly to expect men to do all that they may reasonably be expected to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14639]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is folly to expect men to do all that they may reasonably be expected to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are wonderful things in real jazz, the talent for improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23131]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are wonderful things in real jazz, the talent for improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were some items and ideas they had that were solid, but a lot of these things we can do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33294]]></link><description><![CDATA[There were some items and ideas they had that were solid, but a lot of these things we can do in-house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19146]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vaine is the mill-clacke, if the Miller his hearing lack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49553]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vaine is the mill-clacke, if the Miller his hearing lack.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To measure the man, measure his heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46314]]></link><description><![CDATA[To measure the man, measure his heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal.
