The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in.

There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2445]]></link><description><![CDATA[America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2445</guid></item></channel></rss>
