Yeah, I’ve heard some Christians don’t celebrate Christmas because it integrated some popular winter traditions from pagan cultures.

Personally, I see it as taking back the culture for Christ. Taking something pagan and turning into something that is meant to glorify God.

That’s actually one of the primary missions of Kingdom Pen.

But if you…[Read more]

Hi @Elishavet Elroi !

So cool you’re pursuing an illustrating career and theology!  What kinds of essays do you write?

We’ll look into the privacy option. Actually, the original reason we had it public was for safety.

I used to be a member of a private creative writing forum, and it allowed for some people to prey on members of the community.…[Read more]

Really great points @Quicksilverwyvern ! Especially bringing up the Genetic Fallacy. Not to sound judgy, but I feel like a lot of Christians could benefit from studying a little bit of logic. Maybe we wouldn’t get so many wanting to cancel Christmas and things of that sort. Haha!

My wife grew up in an abusive religious cult that actually had the…[Read more]

My family started out going to an Evangelical Free church as well, I used to work at a Presbyterian church, and I’ve a southern baptist church before too, so a little familiar with all of that. My views on God and the Bible have changed pretty radically since I was a kid though.

But definitely agree with the EF belief in…[Read more]

Exactly! Love geeking out over the Bible! Baptism is the new circumcision. There are so many other passages and example of baptism all throughout scripture that are all consistent and point to this reality.

Passover for example. The Israelites had to be covered by the blood of the lamb by spreading the blood on their doorposts. We now…[Read more]

The Lord Heals! 

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. – 1 Peter 2:24

Personally, I like to do a LOT of plotting, since my stories usually are very complex from a plot standpoint and want to diminish plot holes, so I created a 10 milestone framework. 

Have you heard of the 5 Milestones?

It’s a very simple plotting structure, kinda like a balance between pantsing and plotting.

It’s:

1. Set-up
2. Inciting Incident
3. 1st slap
4. 2nd slap
5. Climax

This way, you only need to plot out 5 key events, and then you can fill in the rest as you go.

That’s kinda cool you don’t describe her appearance. Charlotte Brontë deliberately did not provide a conventional or detailed physical description of her character in Jane Eyre.

Also love the music/song power.

So you’re just looking for a name for her?

I typically use baby name sites, Behind The Name, or AI for finding a good name.

Hi @Renegade ! Welcome to Kingdom Pen! How did you hear about us?

Also, what made you choose the username “Renegade”?

Welcome @stellybean ! How did you hear about Kingdom Pen?

Welcome QuicksilverWyvern!

So cool you write Fantasy and want to own your own business! I’m a huge fan of entrepreneurship!

Also so cool how many different creative pursuits you have!

I’m also curious about your “health issue roulette”. My wife had so many health issues for so long and almost died as well until she received healing from…[Read more]

Welcome Elias! So cool you write Fantasy and Sci-fi! I like to write those too.

Also intrigued that you like essay writing. What topics do you like to write about?

How did you hear about Kingdom Pen?

Rock music is not sinful.

You have freedom in Christ.

Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? – Colossians 2

At best, it’s a Romans 14 issue, as just about all external things and lif…[Read more]

Really good verses. I didn’t understand the purpose of baptism for a really long time. Didn’t really get it until a few years ago. I thought it was just a symbol and not important.

The Bible is very clear on how to be saved. In Acts 2:38, the crowd asks Peter what they must do to be saved. He says: “Repent AND be baptized, each of you, in the n…[Read more]

What is your denomination?

I don’t subscribe to any one denomination. I’m just a bible-believing disciple of Christ.

“Christianity came to Greece and became a philosophy. It came to Italy and became an institution. It came to Europe and became a culture. It came to America and became a business.”

Did you grow up with this denomination? Are…

Yup! Rak Chazak Amats is the Kingdom Pen Battle Cry.

Pronounced: [Rock] [Khaw-Zawk] [aw-motts]

Rak Chazak Amats is an ancient Hebrew war cry used before going into battle.

Joshua chapter one is a perfect example when God commanded Joshua to be “strong and courageous” and go into the land God had promised His people.
