Author

I find scripture to be so poetic in so, so many places. Just looking at the Bible in just a literary sense, I am so impressed with God's written expression. And this is not surprising seeing as how God is, well, a writer, is he not? He is creative. He is communicative. He is the Word. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. So, for the fun of it, I have started saving some phrases and images that jump out to me as particularly "writerly" when I am reading through the Bible. These are some of my favorite well-written images and ideas (in my opinion, that is) from of late:

1 Peter 1:3 - live with a wonderful expectation

Heb. 12:22 - countless thousands of angels

Heb. 12:27 - only unshakable things will remain

1 Pet. 1:13 - exercise self-control

2 Pet. 3:8 - a day is like a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years are like a day
