WHY FOOLISH WORDS?
What’s up with that name? This Christian ministry focuses on Jesus Christ and His message of life, forgiveness, and salvation. Those gifts (and a zillion others) result from His life, death, and resurrection. The idea that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, would save us and give us life through His crucifixion and Easter resurrection may sound like foolish words. In fact, that’s what the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NASB) . . . For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved it is the power of God.
My mission is that my writing and speaking – whether inspirational or humorous – be centered on the message of Christ crucified and Christ resurrected. That may sound like foolishness to the world but it is the power of God for our salvation. Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (John 14:6). There’s nothing we can do to earn it (Ephesians 2:8-9). That’s absolute truth, not foolishness.
The cross is in the middle of the ministry logo, formed by the shadow of the writing pen. Foolish Words is written in a fun font because of the foolish message (1 Cor. 1:18), but also because I often use touches of humor in my writing and speaking. Living as a grace-filled, forgiven child of God is a joy, not a job. Thank the Lord for His forgiveness and grace. Where would I be without it?! The joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10)!
That’s the background for this ministry of foolish words!
