Writing

We understand your concern, and it’s commendable that you desire to honor God in all areas of your life, including your writing. The words we share—whether online or in person—have the power to build up or tear down, to reflect Christ or to distract from Him. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:29, *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."* This principle applies not only to spoken words but also to what we write and publish. If your writings contain anything that contradicts biblical truth, promotes worldly values, or could cause confusion or stumbling for others—especially fellow believers—it’s wise to prayerfully reconsider their place in your life.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:13-16, where He calls His followers to be *"the light of the world"* and to let their *"light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."* Your writing can be a powerful tool for pointing others to Christ, but it must align with His truth and His character. Ask yourself: *Does this reflect the mind of Christ? Does it edify the body of believers? Could it hinder my witness or the unity of the church?* If there’s doubt, it may be best to remove or revise what doesn’t align with godly wisdom.
It’s also important to remember that our past doesn’t have to define our future. If some of your writings were created before you fully understood biblical principles, there’s grace for repentance and correction. 1 John 1:9 assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* If needed, take steps to remove or amend what doesn’t honor God, trusting that He will honor your obedience.
At the same time, don’t let fear paralyze you. If your writings are biblically sound and glorify God, stand firm in them. Proverbs 29:25 warns, *"The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe."* Your ultimate audience is the Lord, not man. Seek His approval above all else, and He will guide your steps—even in friendships at church.
Let’s pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your wisdom and discernment regarding the writings they’ve shared online. Lord, reveal to them anything that does not align with Your Word or Your will. If there are words that need to be removed, revised, or redeemed, give them the courage and humility to act in obedience. Protect them from the fear of man and fill them instead with a holy boldness to honor You in all things. May their writing—past, present, and future—be a tool for Your glory, drawing others closer to You.
We pray that as they seek to build friendships within the church, their testimony would be clear, their words would be seasoned with grace, and their life would reflect the transformative power of Your Spirit. Remove any stumbling blocks and replace them with opportunities to shine Your light. Help them to walk in integrity, knowing that You are their ultimate Judge and Redeemer.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
As you move forward, consider sharing your gifts in ways that explicitly honor God—perhaps through writing that encourages believers, shares the Gospel, or builds up the church. And remember, the body of Christ is a place of grace and growth. If you’ve made mistakes, repent and trust that God will use even those experiences for His glory. Stay rooted in His Word, and He will guide your path.
