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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some dreams we have are nothing else but dreams, Unnatural and full of contradictions;  Yet others of our most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some dreams we have are nothing else but dreams, Unnatural and full of contradictions;  Yet others of our most romantic schemes   Are something more than fictions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Polar Express was the easiest of my picture book manuscripts to write...
