A man writes for a purpose.  I say this with a happy tone.  Who writes anything and just throws it away?  There was something needing said.  The words were formed on purpose.

All of us poor bloggers write for a purpose.  We all want to be heard.  We all want to be counted as valuable.

Ask any marketing guru and he will tell you, “Say what the people want to hear and they will fly to your words”.  Audience, then, is of prime concern.

The people I want to write to already know the Bible is.  What’s contained there is far more than I can contrive to write.  So then why do I write?

Do I write for all the purposes that are good?  Surely I do.  But few read them.

Should I allow that to depress my heart into sadness?  Absolutely not!

For though I write that men may be saved, the reality is I am but one man.  How can I write in obscurity with joy?  I write for the great cloud of witnesses.

I write that I may understand.  I write that I may do.  The writing is learning.

And the writing is the testimony, before the living God, that Jesus his Son is making a serious difference.  God is pleased.  And the great cloud of witnesses says “Amen”.

There is a place I will be received with great joy.  Here reception is debatable item.  Therefore I will live and write according to the place I will be assigned.

Only let the fever of the gospel consume me.
