SEEDS: Christians Don't Have Affairs

Here is a conversation I had with a Christian in response to my book Seeds.

Person: "You shouldn't classify your book Seeds as Christian fiction because it is obvious you wrote it for the secular world."

Me: "Why do you think that?"

Person: "Well, the book has an affair in it..."

Me: "Yes, it does."

Person: "The only people who have affairs are secular people. Christians don't have affairs."

Me:  ***Can't respond, overcome with loud laughter and a few unintentional snorts***

Okay people... this is insane! Christians don't have affairs... are you KIDDING me? Of course Christians have affairs... Christians do all sorts of things they aren't supposed to do! Does that make it right? NO! Does it make it okay? NO! It makes us imperfect... it makes us need forgiveness but guess what: God is a forgiving, loving God.

While Seeds does have an affair in it, it does not glorify this behavior. It shows it as the sin it is. I included an affair in the book because the book is ABOUT sexual sin. If it happens in the real world... expect me to write about it.

That is all.

SEEDS: How Dare You!!

Today I received a message on my Facebook author page from a person who called themself a "Good Christian". This was in response to my book Seeds.

"How dare you write a book with a homosexual character and call it Christian Fiction. Stay in secular where you belong, no real Christians want to read your work!" 

Thank you for sharing your intolerance with me... if you are a "Good Christian" then I long to be an EXCELLENT Christian. All kidding aside, Jesus gave us a new command... John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

I choose to live my life as best I can under the new command!

Blessings...
