Write His Answer: A Bible Study for Christian Writers
by Marlene Bagnull
It is the Word of God that convicts and changes lives (see Heb. 4:12; 2 Tim. 3:16-17). While that does not mean that we need to pepper our writing with Scripture quotations, it is imperative that the Word of God dwell in us richly (see Col. 3:16) if we are to effectively share our faith with others. We need to remember and heed God's Word to Ezekiel: "Let all my words sink deep into your own heart first; listen to them carefully for yourself. Then, afterward, go to your people" (Ezek. 3:10-11 TLB). This is a wonderful bible study for all Christian writers.
