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[Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prudent question is one half of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52749]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prudent question is one half of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21357]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22265]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability to ask questions is the greatest resource in learning the truth.
