The Pen Of A Ready Writer(Psalm 45:1)Pastor Andrew Eldridge| Shady Grove Church, Soddy Daisy

Pastor Andrew Eldridge delivers a powerful sermon titled 'The Pen of a Ready Writer,' drawing from Psalm 45:1 to challenge believers to let their tongues become instruments of divine storytelling. He argues that our words aren't neutral—they're the auditory manifestation of our inner spirit, capable of sowing life or death. The sermon centers on a radical call to intentional speech: not just *what* we say, but *when*, *how*, and *why*. Eldridge warns that silence can be disobedience when God calls us to speak, especially in moments of faith, while also affirming that sometimes the most spiritual act is to remain silent—especially when we need to hear God’s voice. He urges a transformation from self-reliance to God-reliance, emphasizing that true power comes not from our confidence but from Christ living within us. The message culminates in a call to let God’s Word dwell richly in our hearts so that our speech becomes a living, breathing extension of His purpose—where every word is a pen stroke in the story of God’s glory.
