But it is fraught with danger if we never go deeper into His word. How much better to develop a deep, intimate knowledge of God and let His ideas flow through our renewed minds. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. An intimate knowledge of Scripture is our only safeguard against wrong doctrine and ensures that what we write really comes from God. The only way to solve this dilemma is to allow His words and ideals to literally live in us and flow through our minds into every expression of our life.
Scripture is full of stories and examples given for our instruction and encouragement.
Some Christian writers feel they must tell the salvation story in every article. This simply isn't the case. First , as a practical matter, it is impossible to tell the story in every article. Second, secular editors won't tolerate it. Third, there are so many other truths that need to be told in a fallen world- truths that help prepare people's hearts for the gospel and which bring to maturity those who have believed.
