The Power of the Written Word

Writers have incredible power. Throughout history, writers have changed the mindset of society, shaped public opinion and ignited revolutions. Authors, poets, playwrights, speechwriters and more have made a tremendous difference in the world.

Whether through passionate prose that stirred up emotions or hard-hitting journalism that instigated public response, writers have been responsible for moving people into action. When inspired, a writer’s words can completely transcend the page and become something more meaningful to the reader.

God entrusted writers to bring His holy Word to the masses. The psalms of David and the letters from Paul, for example, still stand today as testaments to the goodness of God and His promises to His people.

Today’s Christian writers have a tremendous gift. We are inspired by God and empowered with the opportunity to change lives. It’s a responsibility that we should take as seriously as those original scribes who God chose to use for His glory.

I am in awe of the power of the written word.
