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 all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27308]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was poise and not being tough enough yet as a young team to handle a lead on the road. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32299]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was poise and not being tough enough yet as a young team to handle a lead on the road.

Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to bring people different workshops to educate, to give them training and skills they can use in their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38137]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to bring people different workshops to educate, to give them training and skills they can use in their businesses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What nature wants, commodious gold bestows; 'Tis thus we cut the bread another sows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17781]]></link><description><![CDATA[What nature wants, commodious gold bestows; 'Tis thus we cut the bread another sows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true: Yet wildings of nature, I dote upon you,  For ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye field flowers! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true: Yet wildings of nature, I dote upon you,  For ye waft me to summers of old,   When the earth teem'd around me with fairy delight,    And when daisies and buttercups gladden'd my sight,     Like treasures of silver and gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age does not protect you from love.
