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[When an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to God, saying, "Lord, I cannot do this unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6626]]></link><description><![CDATA[When an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to God, saying, "Lord, I cannot do this unless Thou enablest me"; and... then he received strength more than sufficient.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innovators are inevitably controversial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Innovators are inevitably controversial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Send not a Catt for Lard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Send not a Catt for Lard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is angry at a feast is rude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49362]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is angry at a feast is rude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anarchy - it's not the law, it's just a good idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anarchy - it's not the law, it's just a good idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60290]]></link><description><![CDATA[We ought not to look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love orthodoxy.

It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.
