Are you a writer?  Do you want to write? Does your schooling, work place, or ministry call you to express yourself in words for the sake of others?

If so, John Piper’s counsel on how to write with others in mind is worth ten minutes of your time.  Pastor John challenges writers to love the ones for whom they are writing–even if they don’t know who they are.

This is a good admonishment.  When we write we should not write for the sake our name, but for the sake of Christ’s.  And when we write we should always consider it an extension of loving our neighbor as ourselves.  Since writing is often accomplished in a secluded office or in the interior of our mind (in a busy coffee shop), the reminder to think beyond the white screen is essential. Listen to the brief interview.

May we learn to not only to love writing, but to love others with our writing.
