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.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has, indeed, many ills, but the mind that views every object in its most cheering aspect, and every doubtful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has, indeed, many ills, but the mind that views every object in its most cheering aspect, and every doubtful dispensation as replete with latent good, bears within itself a powerful and perpetual antidote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My own idea, for what it is worth, is that all sadness which is not now either arising from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8535]]></link><description><![CDATA[My own idea, for what it is worth, is that all sadness which is not now either arising from the repentance of a concrete sin and hastening towards concrete amendment or restitution, or else arising from pity and hastening towards active assistance, is simply bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin let loose speaks punishment at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin let loose speaks punishment at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Begin to be now what you will be hereafter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems to be a regular pattern. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40745]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems to be a regular pattern.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With just a little education and practice on how to manage your emotions, you can move into a new experience ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13522]]></link><description><![CDATA[With just a little education and practice on how to manage your emotions, you can move into a new experience of life so rewarding that you will be motivated to keep on managing your emotional nature in order to sustain it.
