Dayton Christian Scribes

Hi friends! Linore here. I had some thoughts on writing this morning, which I thought I'd share: The high call of Christian writers is to tell parables. A parable is "a real-life illustration set alongside a Biblical truth to give an example. Parables are not fables. Jesus didn't tell fanciful stories with morals. He took real-life situations familiar to all, and used them to bring forth God's truth, especially for those open to hear His truth." (Guzik, Commentary on Luke, p. 257)
In a nutshell, you could say that's what I try to do with my stories. It was the motivating factor for my first published novel, and it is my aim when I write today.
What about you? Does this idea speak into why you write? Why or why not?
