| In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
| John 1:1 |
| |
| Unlike so many we do not peddle the Word of God for a profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God. |
Words do matter. What we say and how we say it also matters. Words are important. Words are beautiful. Words are lyrical. Words are poetic. But sometimes words can be hurtful; harmful; even evil. Let it be understood, then, that words are powerful. Indeed, we must certainly think before we speak.
Words can be used to express a heartfelt prayer. Words can be used to draft documents of hate. Words can bring peace; words can bring war.
Sometimes words can stand on their own. Other times words are strung together to begin a novel. Words can be used to build up and words can be used to tear down.
At DBRileyBooks.com we will focus on words that build up; words of love; words of hope; words of patience; words of wisdom. The Bible is where we will turn for many examples of Poetry and Prose. We will also cull some works from poets of the past and the present.
Happy Reading |
