Everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory. Romans 11:36 (The Living Bible)

So much is being said about stories these days.

Tell a good story.
Live an exciting story.
Write a compelling story.

You are encouraged to tell a good story with:

Your words. Your pictures. Your marketing.

But for what?

To spark interest?
To increase sales?
To attract readers?
To gain customers?
To set yourself apart?

These reasons aren’t bad.

But these reasons aren’t enough.

Your story needs to be for God’s glory.

Your story must reveal the grace of Christ.
Your story must reflect the beauty of Christ.
Your story must redeem the purpose of Christ.

Your story needs to be for God’s glory.

Your story must share the love of Christ.
Your story must show the perseverance of Christ.
Your story must signify the gospel of Christ.

The bottom line is this:

If your story is not being told for God’s glory, it won’t matter in His story.
