Challenging myself and others to strive for better, to seek God more—everyday.
This writing and publishing path God has sent me down has challenged me in ways I could never imagine. But the one thing that remains constant is trying to find my way, God’s way. Then I come to realization that He will lead the way, in His time. That this path is more about growing in relationship with Him than it is selling books.
Most of you have seen it written that I didn’t seek this path, that God brought me along, and now, here I am. While I seek out myriads of ways to successfully market my writings I forget to seek the purpose God has me here in the first place. It wasn’t to drive me crazy, not a long drive by the way, but to share His voice, His ways, to the world, at least those He reveals, through entertaining stories and discussions.
As I was planning this blog last night I saw a segment on the news about faith in America. One of the headlines was that 80% of Americans believe faith has no importance in daily life. I knew that people’s perspectives have radically changed in just a few years, but this nugget overwhelmed me, helping me realize one of the main reasons for Christian fiction and inspirational literature. That following His guidance, we could become purveyors of the truth, the Gospel, in ways the masses could understand, embrace, and seek in their entertainment as well.
The church has let Christians, almost forcing them in these times, find their entertainment the same as the world finds theirs. Often it is the same entertainment, movie, books, social media that the secular world thrives on, mostly with ungodly values, and no redeeming value, except to push the bounds of ungodliness. Television ads that routinely push “drag” shows, movies where the four letter words outnumber the three letter name by a thousand fold. Is it any wonder that today’s culture would make the above statement.
I propose the church work with authors, like me, to begin the transformation back to 80% saying the church is the light, and Christ is the way, everyday. Join me on September 10, 2024, for a discussion of this and an opportunity to hear about my novel, which He inspired, No Romancing The Passengers. It’s time to get our country’s soul back, to Make God First Again, every day. Join me by signing up here: https://www.leewimmer.net/virtual-meeting-with-author…/
A link will be sent to the email you provide. I look forward to seeing you there.
Blessings.
