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[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17693]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better spare to have of thine own, then aske of other men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better spare to have of thine own, then aske of other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put that (amendment) in there and send it back to them, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put that (amendment) in there and send it back to them,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need every partner we can find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33382]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need every partner we can find.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still the Lord accomplished his work through them alike when he broke the bloody scepters of arrogant kings and when he overturned intolerable governments. Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a good draft class.
