That, in itself, is the description of a nation bent on suicide. I mean, what is more precious to us than our own children?

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[It will be interesting to see how she reconciles her rhetoric of 2004, when she said that the election (for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53866]]></link><description><![CDATA[It will be interesting to see how she reconciles her rhetoric of 2004, when she said that the election (for governor) was all about experience, when in this race, she's at a decided experience disadvantage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of what avail are pedigrees? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of what avail are pedigrees?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God himself favors the brave. [Lat., Audentes deus ipse juvat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4865]]></link><description><![CDATA[God himself favors the brave. [Lat., Audentes deus ipse juvat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41203]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11773]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear-not absence of fear.

That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture is "To know the best that has been said and thought in the world." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture is "To know the best that has been said and thought in the world."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43539</guid></item></channel></rss>
