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[The power of habit and the charm of novelty are the two adverse forces which explain the follies of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52131]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power of habit and the charm of novelty are the two adverse forces which explain the follies of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constant kindness can accomplish much.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.

Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone born in Brazil is an American.
