“For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.” Luke 16:8b ESV1
Read Luke 16:1-13
I was about ready to give up. Though I was sure I was responding to God’s leading when I first ventured out in this direction, now I was not so sure. But hadn’t I prayed about it? Hadn’t it been confirmed by others who were characterized by giving godly advice? Wasn’t my desire to glorify God? Yet, I had been writing my Christian blog for nearly five years and if I looked at the number of followers of my site, I could easily assume that I had the least popular website on the entire internet. Was writing about what God was teaching me as I studied the Bible worth it? Considering the amount of time I spent researching, praying, choosing the most applicable words, and proofreading what I had written, it certainly didn’t seem like it! Especially when I had dozens of essays that hadn’t been read by a single soul. So, I started removing my articles and I was planning on shutting down my site. That was until I read the following parable of Jesus.
