There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When anyone tells me I can't do anything.

Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These violent delights have violent ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60693]]></link><description><![CDATA[These violent delights have violent ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And all at Worcester but the honour lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19721]]></link><description><![CDATA[And all at Worcester but the honour lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm worried.
