Compulsion...

My writer friend, Jim, left this as a comment on one of my blog posts.

"Recreational writing can be hit-and-miss, but for the Christian who feels God's commission to write for Him, that is not an option. Jesus' apostle Paul wrote, "For I am under compulsion, for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel." The same sort of compulsion exists for Christian writers. While we may not always "preach" the gospel through our writing, Jesus' gospel must form our frame of reference for what we do write."
