If you’ve been called to write Christian Fiction, you will be opposed by the Enemy. And the opposition will strike at either your worth or your identity as a writer. The reason is simple – Satan hates any story that bring honor to – or creates a hunger for – God.
The enemy will use two sides of the same blade to cut Christian Fiction authors down. Each is equally deadly.
One side of the blade is the lie that you really can’t write. That you’re about to be found out or flame out. Best to stop now and go home in shame. You have nothing to offer. You’re nothing.
The opposite attack is when the enemy fans the flame of ego. You start to believe your own press. You live for the praise of others and the bestseller list. Success tastes good and is due to your immense talent. You made it happen. You’re a rock star.
Don’t fall captive to either lie.
You who have been called to this fellowship have much to offer. Write in that strength.
But remember the call and the gift comes from Him. Humility is key.
There is nothing better than an author immune to these lies – crafting story from a place of both wholeness and holiness.
