And the church's response to this current situation will reveal, better than anything else, our faith in God -- or our faithlessness. If we churchmen interpret such pervasive doubt as a threat, then we will do as the church has done so often in the past: we will substitute the church for God, and make our church-centered activities into an ersatz kingdom of God. Our faithlessness will be evident in the easy paraphrase of the hard truth of the gospel, and in the lapse from the critical loyalty that God requires of us, into the vague and corrupting sentimentalism that has so marred American Protestantism. Or the church can interpret the present religious situation as a promise, as God's recall of His people to a new reformation. Our faithfulness to God-in-Christ will be manifest in the willingness to be honest with ourselves and with the gospel. Then we may view the church, not as an end in itself, but as the point of departure into the world for which the Son of God died. Which will it be?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35098]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way... style.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor distorts nothing, and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another lean unwashed artificer. -King John.
