Talents
God has blessed all of us with certain abilities. We need to be utilizing them to the best of our abilities to the glory of God (Ephesians 3:20-21). I have humbly been blessed with the ability to write and to express my thoughts in a coherent manner. I need to do a better job of putting this into action. However, one of my downfalls is a lack of time management, which wages war against my eagerness to write. I think God has also blessed me with a small ability to understand human behavior. Age and wisdom had to catch up with this ability. I try to give this ability a voice in my writing. I just wish I could write full-time, so I could do even more to put these abilities into practice.

Richard, you are indeed an excellent writer!
With all of the good writers we have in the brotherhood, we need to be utilizing these folks to write Bible class lessons for the various grade levels in the Lord’s church, not only saving the church monies that could be spent in some other area (i.e., mission work, etc.), but insuring that God’s truth is not being “watered down” as we see in some of the Bible class material we get from various publishers.

Thank you, Mike. I agree with your assessment about writers in the brotherhood. We are being short-sighted by using denominational material when we have the ability to do it ourselves at a high level.
