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[[A woman] fiercer than a cubless tigress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50427]]></link><description><![CDATA[[A woman] fiercer than a cubless tigress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As men, we are all equal in the presence of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11264]]></link><description><![CDATA[As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom begins in wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1493]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom begins in wonder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the employers I talked to do not want to hire them.
