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[Base envy withers at another's joy, And hates that excellence it cannot reach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Base envy withers at another's joy, And hates that excellence it cannot reach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58345]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you do not raise your eyes you will think you are the highest point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38419]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will preserve their happiness in a tolerable measure]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity and treating begin at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity and treating begin at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine ever paies for his loding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine ever paies for his loding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50112</guid></item></channel></rss>
