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[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the law of supply and demand.

Come as the wind: sweep clean away  What dead within us lies, And search and freshen all our souls  With living energies.  Come as the fire: and purge our hearts  Like sacrificial flame; Let our whole soul as offering be  To our redeemer's name.

This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lecturer should give the audience full reason to believe that all his powers have been exerted for their pleasure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lecturer should give the audience full reason to believe that all his powers have been exerted for their pleasure and instruction. -Michael Faraday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those presents are the most acceptable which are enhanced by our regard for the donor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those presents are the most acceptable which are enhanced by our regard for the donor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had used the work in its Pickwickian sense . . . he had merely considered him a humbug in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55099]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had used the work in its Pickwickian sense . . . he had merely considered him a humbug in a Pickwickian point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens unless first a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens unless first a dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing how nice people are to you when they know you're going away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42509]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing how nice people are to you when they know you're going away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62356]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34655]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have more cargo coming in than last year, largely because of the end of textile and apparel quotas, but it's flowing much more smoothly from the ships to the stores than we saw in 2004,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11350]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prions are highly indestructible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prions are highly indestructible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
