When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are the best of the best good temperament, good medical background, good size. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36427]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are the best of the best good temperament, good medical background, good size.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62866]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your emotions affect every cell in your body.
