One Life’s Purpose by Jeremy D Vance

 


     The pursuit of money and fame can be a big lure for you to write a book. If you set this as your purpose, you most likely will become discouraged and even give up when it is discovered that writing and publishing a book is genuinely difficult. Popularity and cash do not come from simply putting your words on a page. 

     In my opinion, you must find a deeper purpose for crafting stories or even non-fiction. Such a purpose will be the rudder that keeps your writing on course in the storms of self-doubt and rejection.

     My purpose in writing speculative fiction for children and teens has been to help them walk through life’s difficult moments as well as to prompt thinking about deeper issues. After my period of distraction, I had to re-examine and renew my purpose so that I may continue on this epic writing journey. Once firmly in my grasp again, I look forward to the future laid before me and so 

Whether I reach a few or thousands with my stories, it will all be worth the effort and so, whether I reach a few or thousands, it all will be worth it.

Our Hope In the Midst of Trouble by Jeremy D Vance

       Everyday we deal with the world’s trouble. We may experience the loss of loved ones or our savings might dwindle from unexpected bills. We can grieve or be angry for awhile, but do we allow these troubles to lead us to despair? Do we drown in our feelings without any hope whatsoever?      When trouble comes to us believers, we are given the opportunity to focus our faith on Jesus. In the above passage, the news of Christ’s imminent death confused and saddened the disciples. Yet Jesus wanted them to know that though trouble exists in the the world, He has in fact overcome it. Though death exists, it has been overcome. Though pain exists, it has been overcome. What an assurance! We don’t need to fear the world’s troubles, because Jesus has overcome them all and the power behind them.       Believers, let’s not fear hardships anymore. Let them come for we rest our faith in Jesus.

Why Should We Put Our Hope in Jesus? By Jeremy D Vance

       Why should we put our hope in Jesus?      1. Because He brought hope to many others during His life             Matthew 11:5 : The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.       Jesus pointed out that what He was doing fulfilled the early portion of Isaiah 61, but also that John the Baptist (who was experiencing doubts) could hope in Him because so many people had already found their hopes fulfilled. People who spent their lives lame found restoration of their limbs. A paralyzed man experienced full healing as well as forgiveness of his sins. After being dead for a few days, a man returned alive to his two sisters through Jesus’ calling him out of the tomb. Also He elevated the position of women, recognized people considered outcasts, and even touched lepers.       If peopl...
