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[Who are the violets now That strew the green lap of the new-come spring? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who are the violets now That strew the green lap of the new-come spring?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always be smarter than the people who hire you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always be smarter than the people who hire you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ants will not go to an empty granary, and friends will not visit us when our wealth is gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ants will not go to an empty granary, and friends will not visit us when our wealth is gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.
