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[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation's tears in shoulder blades.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41822]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece.

Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues We write in water. -King Henry VIII.

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund. Old and helpless persons who have relations of their own should, indeed, find support from them and not be forced to come upon the Church; but for the resourceless the Church must provide. And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more the mounting larks, while Daphne sings, Shall, list'ning, in mid-air suspend their wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24100]]></link><description><![CDATA[No more the mounting larks, while Daphne sings, Shall, list'ning, in mid-air suspend their wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[That could be the situation throughout the game, but Razorbacks defensive backs coach Bobby Allen said the defense expects to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30343]]></link><description><![CDATA[[That could be the situation throughout the game, but Razorbacks defensive backs coach Bobby Allen said the defense expects to keep its usual scheme.] We match up our corners vs. wide receivers in everything we do.
