If you want to know how to be a successful writer, by world's methods and standards, I don't know answer. However, if you have a passion to use writing as a tool to reach people for Lord, have I got Good News for you!"A Scriptural 'How to' for Writing...”
Once I discovered that scripture provides 'How to's' to be successful at whatever Lord calls us to; Bible became so exciting! For example, pay close attention to this verse.
I am vine, ye are branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing, John 15:5.
The key word is 'abide'. All we have to do, to reach MANY for Lord, is to abide. Now, abide doesn't mean to be good enough or to do anything good enough. It's about having a close knit, moment by moment, relationship with Lord. And, it doesn't mean we're not allowed to have another thought.
Though, when busy with daily chores or driving in car, consider listening to music that ministers to you ~ or a sermon on tape ... just whatever that works for you, directing your thoughts toward Him. Begin to consider TV and radio preferences, not for legalism's sake ~ but to protect your mind toward better things.
