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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49988]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though your threshing floor grind a hundred thousand bushels of corn, not for that reason will your stomach hold more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though your threshing floor grind a hundred thousand bushels of corn, not for that reason will your stomach hold more than mine. [Lat., Millia frumenti tua triverit area centum.  Non tuus hinc capiet venter plus ac meus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That appearance on earth as an individual is the crisis in the history both of Christ Himself and of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7717]]></link><description><![CDATA[That appearance on earth as an individual is the crisis in the history both of Christ Himself and of the humanity He saves and leads. The ministry of Jesus, therefore, culminating in His death, is essential to Paul's whole thought. If in certain aspects of his theology it is the death that bulks most largely -- because it seemed to him to be the purest and most moving expression of what the whole life meant -- he is quite aware that the ethical impulse given by the example and teaching of Jesus is of the very stuff of the Christian life. He alludes to the Gospel story but sparingly, but those who study his teaching most closely become aware that he is himself acting and speaking all through under the impulse of the life and teaching of Jesus. If he refuses to "know Christ after the flesh," it means that he will not risk a harking back to the temporary conditions of the Galilean ministry when the Spirit of Christ is clearly leading out into new fields. The issues of that ministry have been gathered up in the new experience of "Christ in me", and that experience gives a living Christ, who leads ever onward those who will adventure with Him, and not a prophet of the past, whose words might pass into a dead tradition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3437]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose grace   Chalks successors their way, nor called upon    For high feats done to th' crown, neither allied     To eminent assistants, but spiderlike      Out of his self-drawing web, 'a gives us note,       The force of his own merit makes his way,        A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys         A place next to the king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54241]]></link><description><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind of desultory man, studious of change, and pleased with novelty, might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44695]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth was made so various, that the mind of desultory man, studious of change, and pleased with novelty, might be indulged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a broken nest there are few whole eggs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15159]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a broken nest there are few whole eggs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Christianity is pessimistic as to man, it is optimistic as to human destiny.
