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[Green calm below, blue quietness above. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Green calm below, blue quietness above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe one of the hardest things you can do is conquer your fears, but if you have a goal, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9776]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe one of the hardest things you can do is conquer your fears, but if you have a goal, then it's your job to open up and let it be real no matter how scary it seems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the hills, and over the main, To Flanders, Portugal, or Spain;  The Queen commands, and we'll obey,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over the hills, and over the main, To Flanders, Portugal, or Spain;  The Queen commands, and we'll obey,   Over the hills and far away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is a two-way street, loyalty up and loyalty down.
