Engaging the Scripture: Encountering God in the Pages of His Word
Chapter 6 – Write It!
Scripture writing is simply the act of writing out word-for-word by hand selected passages of the Bible. You might wonder why anyone would want to do this when copies of the Bible are so easily accessible. And if like me you find writing anything out by hand to be a tedious and laborious task, the question is ringing in your ears all the louder.
We write Scripture out by hand because:
- It’s biblical.
- The process of handwriting Scripture slows us down.
- It helps us focus.
- Writing Scripture helps with retention.
- In the process we find rest.
- It leads to intimacy with Christ.
