Elie Weisel, Good Writing

“If you want to hold the reader’s attention, your sentence must be clear enough to be understood and enigmatic enough to pique curiosity. A good piece combines style and substance. It must not say everything–never say everything–while nevertheless suggesting there is an everything.”

  1. This is why Scripture is so captivating and the reason why the lay need an enigmatic pastor to explain the everything while never really explaining everything as it is the Holy Spirit that completes the filling of the everything left off by the pastor. This is also why the parables of Jesus are so facinating, captivating and memorable.

  2. CORRECTION: The congregation does not need “enigmatic” pastors but God inspired teachers such as Justin filled with wisdom, discernment, grace, passion, God fearing, God loving, faithful, splankna and a heart broken for the body of Christ God’s people.

  3. Weisel writes well. Love his stuff.
