Old Truths Should Feel Fresh | Word First

I have been reading a lot of old books and >> CS Lewis would be proud. >> If I could give an exhortation to writers in our age to not just take the time to write what is true, but to make it beautiful when you write it. Um, I have to say I've been reading some this book. It's called Future Tenses of the Blessed Life by FB Meyer. And I just slowly read it and it's good for my soul. And I I'm trying to figure out what some of these older writers do so well because they yes, they're always speaking truth, but they're doing it in such a way that's an old truth. And I it feels fresh. And I don't know that we're mass- prodducing everything these days. And there's a lot of true stuff, but it doesn't sing. And I I'd love some more more more books that sing if I could if I could. >> You got the poet. You've got the poet in you. >> Yeah. I I like I like to feel something people. I want to, you know, be convinced but but with the beauty of something. Um and and some writers and I mean the Puritans I just think this Yeah. They're looking at nature all the time and so they're drawing from what is out there and making it so that you resonate with the truth of something differently. Like I mean every time I think about sin I'm like Satan he you know he hides he shows the bait and he hides the hook. I'm thinking it every time. I'm like h it's and it it helps. >> Yeah. >> You know it helps you understand the odiousness of sin in a beautiful way. Um like he's just trying to trap you. Anyway, it it resonates and so rather than just be like sin is bad. Stop. That's how I feel like some of our modern day writing is. Sin's real bad. Don't do it.
