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[The first step to leadership is servanthood. -John Maxwell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step to leadership is servanthood. -John Maxwell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  The situation in which we find ourselves in this world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  The situation in which we find ourselves in this world seems to be a condition of estrangement from God, with little feeling of contact with Him, yet a curious nostalgic feeling that somewhere He exists and that our life would be much more complete if we were in relationship with Him. The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition is the illusion of permanance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition is the illusion of permanance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to get in there.
