It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curst greed of gold, what crimes thy tyrant power has caused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curst greed of gold, what crimes thy tyrant power has caused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As thou these ashes, little brook! will bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide  Of Severn, Severn to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12641]]></link><description><![CDATA[As thou these ashes, little brook! will bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide  Of Severn, Severn to the narrow seas,   Into main ocean they, this deed accurst,    An emblem yields to friends and enemies     How the bold teacher's doctrine, sanctified      By truth, shall spread throughout the world dispersed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The illegal we do immediately.
