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 American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52881]]></link><description><![CDATA[The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think of your forefathers!

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a big game both sides.
