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.

You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are lots of things on the table, but there's nothing that will have a significant impact on the rate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34067]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are lots of things on the table, but there's nothing that will have a significant impact on the rate of increase of health care costs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18085]]></link><description><![CDATA[From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark When neither is attended; and I think  The nightingale, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark When neither is attended; and I think  The nightingale, if she should sing by day   When every goose is cackling, would be thought    No better a musician than the wren.     How many thing by season seasoned are      To their right praise and true perfection!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people in Barrow thought we would starve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people in Barrow thought we would starve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all depend on Sophie to shoot the ball and score.
