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[History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19465]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63842]]></link><description><![CDATA[All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.

(2) There is the danger of one-sidedness by accommodation to the particular tendencies of a particular age. (3) There is the danger of an arrested development, because ecclesiastical authority acting hastily or unguardedly solidifies the one-sidedness or undue accommodation of a particular moment of the Church into a premature and unjustifiable dogma. There is, I venture to think, for all these dangers one remedy, and one remedy only, and that the most old-fashioned; and yet it is with this that is bound up all that is most true, all that is most free, all that is most spiritual in the Church. The remedy to which I refer is the continual recurrence to the original pattern, the continual appeal to antiquity and Scripture. Such an appeal limits the dogmatic authority and in a sense the whole authority of the Church. But it is by the maintenance of this appeal, and only so, that you can safeguard what is, after all, the most important thing, that is, the real power of the Church to be true to its own best spirit, to reassert the original teaching in all its freedom and largeness of application, without being trammelled and contracted by the errors and narrownesses of particular periods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20034]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20034</guid></item></channel></rss>
