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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56381]]></link><description><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45867]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband. -The Taming of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband. -The Taming of the Shrew.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our struggle today is not to have a female Einstein get appointed as an assistant professor.
