Is the Pen mightier than the Sword?

This is my favourite subject by far. I absolutely adore writing. It gives me an awful lot of pleasure not only in the actual act of writing but also hearing what others take from what I write. In the last five years I have written songs, poetry, three musical plays (Two of them Rock Operas), a very successful Veterans Magazine, a PTSD self help guide and now I am writing a new publication called Have Faith. Hence my ramblings here. When I think of the reasons why I have come to this, I can only say that I want to help others.

I will help anyone I can and it doesn't matter what background you come from, if you get a little bit of good from what I write, I am a happy man. I know deep in my heart this is the path God has set me on. He knows what I have been through in my life, he knows my strengths and my weaknesses and uses both of those for his work.

Now, I do not have any formal qualifications in writing, I certainly do not think of myself as Godly or any type of minister or pastor, in fact I consider myself that falls a long way from Gods standards but I do know I have a gift that He uses through me to speak to people. We all possess these gifts, the trick is to recognise them. I know, in the fight that I am involved in, God has armed me with a pen. So, yes, in my case, the pen is mightier than any sword. I have spoken about St Paul in the past and the road he took to going from making his mistakes to becoming a true Saint. He was also a pen master. Proof? take a look at the New Testament. Much of it written by him. Does this not prove the gifts that we are given and how they can be used? Does it also not prove he uses those who have sinned the most to build his church on? What an amazing thing. Yes, St Paul was a man who's Pen was mightier than his Sword.
