think on this
Words and Christian religion go back to the very beginning of the church. Paul and other Disciples of Christ wrote many letters to many of the towns and provinces of their day. These were letters of encouragement, rebuke and instruction. Writing our thoughts and inspirations is most likely the biggest way Christians spread their story. I remember passing out small pamphlets, telling the good news in easy to understand words. These writings have been the way to Christ for many. So writing can be a way to save the lost.
Writing also has influenced the Christian church. Martin Luther hammering his ninety-nine thesis to the doors of the Catholic Church, pointing out flaws in accepted church practice. These writings led to a revolution in the Christian church. Causing the creation of the protestant Christian.
Yes writing should be very important to the modern follower of Christ. It has been with us from the beginning, teaching us how we should follow in His steps. The written word carries with it thousands of years of history, and the Christian people have provided the earth with much. From the hand copied edition of the bible, to the royal records in most European states.
Writing spreads knowledge, and the saying goes. Knowledge is power. And being a good disciple you need to be knowledgeable of the world and its traps. Christians have written many books about how to stay on the strait and narrow path we follow. We share our experience with others through our word; we tell the future generations our story through the written word.
“In the beginning was the word, and the word was God and the word was with God.” John 1:1Words have been with us since creation. God spoke everything into being. Can you imagine the darkness, the formlessness of the earth or a world without the animals and plants? And then realize that these were not created by a hand or machine, but by the powerful word of God. Even today words are powerful. The Holy Spirit lends us his strength, and when a Christian speaks in His name, the evil demons must give way. Words are one way we communicate with God, through prayer we can tell our maker what’s going on, where we are, even ask for favors. This is also the time that god reveals Himself to us.
Worship is an important part of any Christian’s life; and we sing our words of praise to God, with music. But what words can we say that have meaning,
To those who know thee not, no words can paint! And to those who know thee, know all words are faint!
Mrs. More is certainly correct, “all words are faint”. The love we have for Him, our lord is not always describable, but we sing nonetheless.
