A New Book by John Schlitt |
|
WHY is a very personal
description of my journey to discover “why” I’m still
driven to sing about how God loved me enough to
sacrifice his own son to save me. Finding my why has
motivated me to help you discover God’s purpose for your
life – YOUR WHY. That’s the reason I had to write this
book. I believe that if you read or listen to this short
book, you will see that God has made you for a unique
purpose in his Kingdom. You have a purpose, and God
wants you to discover it. I pray that WHY helps you find
it.

I often think about the song by that name which was part
of my solo album “The Greater Cause,” and I am taking
time to write you today because I believe that you are
also committed to a greater cause.
Your life has intersected with mine through the music I
have been able to sing. It has stirred our lives; mine
as well as yours. Some will remember me from Head
East, some from Petra, and some from my solo
ventures.
But what does the next chapter look like, and how will
we cross paths again? In my case, after an opportunity
to sing and later to share my faith on stages all over
this country and abroad, I have asked myself “where I
want to be.” When all else is stripped away, what is
left?
Another of my songs answers that question: “The Cross
Remains.”
That’s why I know that the best and highest use of my
God-given talent will always be in ministry to others,
proclaiming the good news of the Gospel to people who
may not otherwise understand it. That’s what God has
called me to do. And that’s “where I want to be.”
My heart has always been to use the talent God gave me
to further the Gospel. I've never seen this as a lone
endeavor. I’ve always believed this was a joint venture
of working hand-in-hand with the body of Christ through
churches, Christian festivals, radio/TV/film, in
addition to mainstream opportunities that are open to
hearing and speaking truth through songs, testimony, and
witness.
And those opportunities are as great as ever if only we
can step up together and seize them. It breaks my heart
when we can’t.
Some of you have already partnered with me and helped
with recent projects through Kickstarter and other
channels, but my platform has been limited because of
the financial burden that has to be carried.
We can’t allow that to be a limitation. That’s why I am
happy to announce the formation of John Schlitt
Ministries, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. I’m
asking you today: can you come along with me? Together
let’s discover the victories God has for the future.
Yours for The Greater Cause,
John Schlitt |
