“Writer’s Block” is what they call it when a writer can’t think of anything to write about. Sometimes the thoughts just shut down and ideas don’t come. What’s a writer to do?

“Preacher’s Block” is a similar condition when a preacher can’t think of anything to preach about. There is so much in God’s Word, but nothing seems to connect in the preacher’s head. We want to give a God-anointed message, but sometimes nothing seems inspired. We go from one dead-end to another.

In the early days of my ministry I would sometimes be up until 3AM on a Sunday morning wrestling with God’s Word for that anointed sermon idea. Once God re-directed my message in the shower on a Sunday morning. I had to scramble to get ready, but it was freshly inspired! Of course, those were the days before I had to get an outline to the projector people and the general theme to the worship team.

God is a creative God and we have to keep close to Him to have the creativity flowing.
