Idea: some pastors write their own curricula for ministry programs. What if a pastor with a gift for writing fiction wrote a story that conveyed that which he wished to teach?

“For a few years now, I’ve been beating the drum about the need for artistic, beautiful portrayals of truth. We need to draw out the inherent beauty of truth whenever we proclaim it, whether it’s in our sermons, our non-fiction books, or blog posts.”

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is something I’m deeply interested in seeing—especially from the reformed camp. We talk about the glory of God, the joy we find in Him, yet often times our articles, books, and sermons sound more like dour treatises than work by people who find delight in words and phrases and beauty!
