Write His Answer

Are you facing an elephant?

More than likely your elephant, same as mine,
is something you’ve been putting off doing
because it’s just seems so big,
so beyond your capability,
so overwhelming . . .

You’d think after 31 years of directing the Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference and 19 years directing the Colorado Christian Writers Conference the task would be easier. Not so!

Each year the task seems more daunting. And each year I have to remind myself that “God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn; he will never go back on his promises” (Rom. 11:29 TLB).

What has He promised you and me?

That it would be easy to follow Him? No. But He has promised always to be with us.

I’ve learned (but need to keep re-learning) that “when I am weak, then I am strong—the less I have, the more I depend on him” (2 Cor. 12:10 TLB). 

I know that in His strength you and I can eat the elephant a bite at a time!

Update: July 29-August 1 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference

With 56 authors, editors, and agents on faculty the task of adding photos, bios, and editorial needs to the website did seem overwhelming. But finally, it’s done! And again I’m in awe of the faculty Father has provided and their willingness to invest hours of their time in meeting one on one with our conferees.

If you come all three days, you get four free 15-minute appointments with the faculty of your choice; two day conferees get three appointments; those coming just one day still get two appointments.And If you’re among the next 32 to register, you’ll receive an additional free appointment. Appointment requests received through July 1 will be booked in the order you register, so obviously the sooner you register the better opportunity you have to get your top choices.

But GPCWC is about so much more than numbers and opportunities to strengthen your writing and marketing skills, to get valuable feedback on your work, to pitch to editors and agents, and to form deep friendships with others who share your passion for words and for the Lord.

GPCWC is about connecting with the Lord and learning to wait on Him for the answers He will give us. If you long for your words to make a difference in the lives of your readers, if your heart’s desire is to be encouraged and equipped to write about a God who is real, who is reachable, and who changes lives, you need to come to this year’s GPCWC and trust Him to make it possible!

As I consider the crises facing our nation and world, I cannnot think of a more important assignment for Christian writers than to “write His answer.” I’m praying you will accept His assignment and make plans now to join us at Cairn University (formerly Philadelphia Biblical University) July 29 – August 1, 2015.
