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[We think the drinking water on aircraft is safe to drink and has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39580]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think the drinking water on aircraft is safe to drink and has been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are aware of the situation and are in contact with the vendor to remedy the situation during this time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38941]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are aware of the situation and are in contact with the vendor to remedy the situation during this time of high caller volume.
