Scripture writing challenge 20216/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Recently, as I read through my whole manuscript again before sending the final version off to the publisher, I decided to remove a number of Bible verses I had included in full. How much is too much? What could I perhaps say in my own words instead, simply citing the relevant Bible reference at the end? And how much Bible content is already present in everything I write from my own heart anyway because of the fact that I have read and reflected on the words of Scripture almost every day for so many years now? Yet, in writing my current non-fiction manuscript, a similar challenge has emerged, this time concerning the number of Scripture quotes I include in full. I thought I had left that dilemma behind years ago now. ![]() Was I fooling myself-and even perhaps trying to fool that lecturer, as I felt he was implying? Or had all that reading I had done in preparation for writing my essay become part of my own thinking? Yet, I thought I had done that via my many quotes and footnotes. I remember one of my college lecturers writing on an essay of mine, ‘Cite your sources!’ in big, red letters. I hope you get my deep desire for you to plant your flag forward and make a decision to step and walk through 2020 with God in a new, intentional, purposeful way.Īgain more details are coming soon, but if you want to jump on the bus and secure your free spot, sign up now.When I was writing all my many essays way back at university and later at college, it was often a dilemma to work out how much of what I wrote came from my own thoughts and how much from books and articles I had read. Not just once, or twice, but continually transformed into His image, bearing His Fruit. Our lives, our inner being, should be radically changed as followers of Jesus. This is the result of walking with God every single day. Or maybe everything is going okay… God can transform a life of mediocrity into one that is extraordinary. Imagine what God can do with your response to an opportunity to transform your next year? Maybe there’s a mountain in your life that you feel is unscalable – but God can carry you through to the other side. I know I never get sick on all that good stuff! And I don’t know a single person out there who couldn’t use more of God’s love, goodness, truth, and grace in their lives. When we intentionally fix our eyes on Christ, our lives change. Seriously, this is going life-changing quality enhancing stuff! This challenge is free, and we not only hope you join, but that you invite others in your life to do so too. With such a huge occasion approaching, we felt that this was the perfect time to help you have your best year, no… your best DECADE yet! That changes now!Ģ020 is not only a new year, but the beginning of a new decade. Never before have we created an intentional challenge that lasted the entire year. We hope you join us in this adventure of turning to God through Scripture and intentionality for this could be revolutionary! All you have to do is sign up below with your best email, (we promise to respect your email). In our year-long challenge, we give you Scripture for each day, reflection questions and prayer prompts for each month in the form of a nicely packaged free digital download.Īt the beginning of each month, you will get your free digital packet that has the contents for the month. We created a challenge for 2020 to help you intentionally connect with God every single day. It will add depth, health, and renewal to you, because God is our lifeblood. Tapping into God’s presence, actively engaging with God every day will transform your life. You can still be a Christian and not tap into the presence of God with you. ![]() You have a choice, to walk alone or to walk with God. This means something, but often we forget who it is that walks with us. You have the living, breathing, redemptive God residing in you right now and all of your days. There are always circumstances that are out of our control, but what is in your control is your actions, your thoughts, your attitude, your habits.
