Write His Answer

Are you concerned

about human trafficking,
orphans, abortion, the poor,
racism, the handicapped,
the hungry, the oppressed,
and so much more that is close to
the heart and call of Jesus?

Maybe your concerns are closer to home –
a family member who doesn’t know the Lord,
relationships that are strained,
even estranged,
not enough money to meet urgent needs,
and not enough faith to tackle issues
that seem beyond us to resolve.

Today I want to challenge you, and to challenge myself
to believe that we can make a difference.

I’ve just watched – again – the video of pre-teen Jackie Evancho singing “I Believe” that now has 6,593,606 hits on youtube. Amazing voice – powerful message. I encourage you to watch it and to believe. God has a plan for you and for your writing. He can use you and use me to make a difference in our hurting world.

Grab hold of His promises in “A Writer’s Statement of Faith.” Read them aloud. Choose to believe He means what He says. He who calls you will equip you to do “far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us” (Eph. 3:20 MSG).

It’s not too late to register for the July 29 – August 1 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference. Walk-ins are welcome! I especially hope you’ll join us Wednesday evening for brief messages by conferees and faculty on how they are seeking to “Write His Answer” to issues that concern them.

Our morning and evening sessions are open free of charge to the community. They will challenge and encourage all Christians – not just writers – “to believe” they can make a differrence.
