I believe that GOD sometimes used odd instrument to spread his word Tolkien was far from the oddest though for many traditionalist his story is hard for them to perceive the links to his wotd.
I think the most profound example of GOD’ use of so done to write profoundly a story which reflects much of his word is Stephen Kings’s novel ‘The Stand’.?
Very much a story of faith and redemtion.
God doesn’t bribe, child. He just makes a sign and lets people take it as they will.
Theres always a choice. Thats Gods way, always will be. Your will is still free. Do as you will. Theres no set of leg-irons on you. But... this is what God wants of you.
“I have sinned in pride. So have you all. But that’s past now. It’s time now to give over your will to the will of God. It’s time, to make your STAND.”
