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[Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eyes see not what is before them when the mind is intent on other matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51633]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eyes see not what is before them when the mind is intent on other matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with you Chicago people is that you think you are the best people down here, whereas you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5870]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with you Chicago people is that you think you are the best people down here, whereas you are merely the most numerous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the labour of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the labour of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what avail'd this temperance, not complete Against another object more enticing? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50650]]></link><description><![CDATA[But what avail'd this temperance, not complete Against another object more enticing?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to take unwilling hounds to the chase. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50881]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to take unwilling hounds to the chase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of our goals was to have a quarter where we only gave up nine points or less.
