Principles for Both Writing and Illustrating

The first angel's message gives us the correct principles.

  1. “Fear God and give glory to Him.”

All content should lead people to give God the respect and reverence He deserves.

  1. “for the hour of His judgment has come.”

All content should lead people to recognize that the judgment is really going to happen, and that it is a most solemn event.

  1. “and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.

All content should lead people to worship God as the Creator. It should inspire awe and humility. It should lead people to give God the love, loyalty, and obedience He deserves as the one who made us.

Principles of Good Illustrations

Accurate

Pictures that illustrate Bible scenes should be correct in the details. They should match the story as told in the Bible.

  1. The Bible says that there was just one window in the ark. Don't show animals looking out over sides of the ark.
  2. The Bible says that Jesus sat down in Peter's boat to teach the people. Don't show Jesus standing up.
  3. The Bible says Jesus felt compassion for the people. Don't show

Why is this important? The picture tells a story. It should tell a true story. The picture should not tell the story in a way that that contradicts what God says in the Bible.

Philippians 4:8 “whatever things are true”

Illustrations should be of good quality.
