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[No one gossips about other people's secret virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17877]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crave not perfection from others & you will get the best behaviour they can offer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crave not perfection from others & you will get the best behaviour they can offer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world slide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the world slide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was great for our guys.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains.

The best way to get great ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. 2. Create ideas that are 15 minutes ahead of their time...not light years ahead. 3. Always look for a second right answer. 4. If at first you don't succeed, take a break. 5. Write down your ideas before you forget them. 6. If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead. 7. The answer to your problem "pre-exists." You need to ask the right question to reveal the answer. 8. When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer. 9. Never solve a problem from its original perspective. 10. Visualize your problem as solved before solving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a long preparation for something that never happens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Censure pardons the ravens but rebukes the doves.
