We have no reason to mistrust the New Testament assurance. The Easter message and the historical Jesus are joined by a bridge resting on many piers. Jesus proclaimed the good news of the presence of God who, like a forgiving father, seeks his lost children and grants even sinners the company of the Redeemer; the disciples preached the Gospel of Christ, who appeared as saviour and died on the cross for sinners. In the Holy Spirit Jesus drove out unclean spirits and conquered Satan; from Easter onwards he was extolled as the Lord of all spirits, who gives the Holy Spirit to believers and in him is ever present with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you lend is lost; when you ask for it back, you may find a friend made an enemy by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25580]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you lend is lost; when you ask for it back, you may find a friend made an enemy by your kindness.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not the punishment but the cause makes the martyr. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not the punishment but the cause makes the martyr.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what it is you want to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what it is you want to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore,  There is society ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46694]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore,  There is society where none intrudes   By the deep Sea, and music in its roar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is stronger far than art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is stronger far than art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What work's, my countrymen, in hand?
