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[And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17908]]></link><description><![CDATA[And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was important for us to be patient and see what they were giving us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39526]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was important for us to be patient and see what they were giving us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The economy is going great in our area. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39401]]></link><description><![CDATA[The economy is going great in our area.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16176]]></link><description><![CDATA[What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plant no other tree before the vine. [Lat., Nullam vare, sacra vite prius arborem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plant no other tree before the vine. [Lat., Nullam vare, sacra vite prius arborem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[we have to provide them with agricultural assistance, invest in irrigation, build roads, and provide electric power and assistance in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28272]]></link><description><![CDATA[we have to provide them with agricultural assistance, invest in irrigation, build roads, and provide electric power and assistance in generating non-farm employment in rural areas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn the art of patience.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a puzzling thing.
