Besides, I am sworn by the Form of Subscription of the Synod of Dort, which I signed at my ordination, to teach and defend the doctrines of the Three Forms of Unity in preaching and writing. I see writing as a duty, but most of all, as a delight. Finally, in my context, as a former Roman Catholic-turned-Charismatic-turned-Reformed who ministers to the same, I see such a need for accessible works that any unbelieving visitor of confused evangelical can pick up and understand what we are all about. I hope that comes through and I'll leave the heavy lifting to the Hortons and Clarks of the Reformed world. |
Those are certainly good reasons for writing. If you have got the gift of the pen, you are obliged to use it for the Lord's glory.
