Write on Purpose

It’s
sometimes easy to forget in our fast-food, hectic-paced lives that as followers
of Christ we’re on a mission. Our purpose on the way to our true home is to
share the good news of God’s amazing grace with those around us.







It should be
natural for us. After all, we’re quick to tell friends about that bargain pair
of shoes we found. We’d do everything possible to rescue people from a burning
building. And if we discovered a cure for a potentially fatal disease we’d make
sure it became global news.




Think about
it. We have this incredible and priceless treasure to share. We have a message
of salvation and healing. Early believers, when they found the treasure,
hurried to their friends and said “Come and see.”




The message
is the same today as it was thousands of years ago. It’s an invitation to
peace, joy and love; a warning of coming wrath and judgment; a healing balm to
cure the devastating results of sin.




In short, it’s
an offer to the Kingdom feast of grace.




That’s why I
write Christian fiction. Yes, I hope readers are entertained by the stories I
write. I truly desire to give readers a respite from the trials and
tribulations of this earthly life. But most importantly, I hope and pray to remind
them of a treasure that’s available to all of us—an eternal, intimate
relationship with Father God through the redemptive work of Christ—made
possible by His life-changing grace.
