I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer.

Quality, not Quantity
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" Luke 17:5 The disciples were with the Lord every day learning and growing, but they felt inadequate in their faith, so they asked for some more.
