Further, each local church is a church only in so far as it is the expression, in a particular place, of this new race that has come into the world through Christ Jesus.

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[Two sparrows on one Ear of Corn make an ill agreement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two sparrows on one Ear of Corn make an ill agreement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time flies, as he flies, adds increase to her truth, And gives to her mind what he steals from her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time flies, as he flies, adds increase to her truth, And gives to her mind what he steals from her youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1482]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What! wouldst thou have a serpent sting thee twice? -The Merchant of Venice.
