Sometimes I just need to start writing. If I do that then
the ideas start to flow. If I don't I'll sit there and stare at a blank screen forever before getting into it. If you're like me, you're always searching for the
perfect way to start a message. Something that
conveys the essence of the talk, plus
grabs people's
attention and is usually
humorous. But before I get there, there's just a
blank canvas sitting before me. Here's a look at how most of my sermons start:
Or some other
form of greeting. I do this because the
hardest part of writing is getting that
first sentence done, and that's usually how I start my sermons anyway. So, my advice for anyone suffering from writers block is just to
start writing. Even if it's dumb, you can go back and erase it anyway.
