You are not called to get to heaven, to do good, or to be good -- you are called to belong to Jesus Christ. The doing good, the being good, and the getting to heaven, are the by-products of that belonging. The center of conversion is the belonging of a person to a Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/368]]></link><description><![CDATA[If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of my own spirit let me be in sole though feeble mastery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of my own spirit let me be in sole though feeble mastery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to steamroll, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40706]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to steamroll,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  The nominal Christian, then, will see Jesus as a name, a representative, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels  The nominal Christian, then, will see Jesus as a name, a representative, a symbol, a personification, a prototype, a figure, a model, an exemplar for something else. 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 most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13427]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others.
