Once Upon a Time

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: What makes a good story? Well, first, it has a protagonist. That’s the main character.

Protagonist: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

Nancy: It also needs an antagonist. That’s the “bad guy.”

Antagonist: No blade can pierce me!

Nancy: And every plot needs a conflict. That keeps our attention, and it leads to the climax, the high point of the plot.

Protagonist: Bows twanged and arrows whistled; battle was about to be joined.

Nancy: God’s story has all of these things. He is the Protagonist, the Hero.

Protagonist: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Nancy: The antagonist is Satan.

Antagonist: Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?

Nancy: Conflict follows for thousands of years. And then the Protagonist steps back into the scene—God becomes man. He dies in our place; He’s resurrected, and one day He’s coming back for His Bride.

It’s the most compelling, transforming, hope-giving story ever written. That should give you hope for your story today.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
