The purpose of writing the play, The
Price is to give honor and glory to the living God. To lead someone to
Christ Jesus, strengthen our faith, affirm our faith in Christ's
salvation.
To encourage our
youth ministries to stand up and speak up for Christ.
To give warning
not to allow the cares and distractions of this world to hinder us in
God's work.
Christians to stop
and think about God's love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and our own
salvation.
For we were
brought with a price because of God's love for us.
I am very
thankful for all the pastors and the Christian Faith Based Community
who have reach out to the play and book. The Price is now
performed in many churches.
The play is about
an arrogant millionaire who does not believe in God and Jesus Christ's
Salvation for man. The millionaire believes man is the measure of all
things and not God. He refuses to accept the fact he is in hell. He
believes his paper work must have been misplace and this is all a mistake.
The millionaire is told that God does not make mistakes. He demands Satan
look into the matter at once and complains it's to hot in hell and asks
Satan to turn the air conditioners on.
Satan tries to
convince the millionaire there is no paper work mix up and hell is where
he belongs. The millionaire not hearing any of it tells Satan he needs
better customer service in hell because he would never hire him. Satan has
the other residences of hell to give their testimonies of why they were in
hell, but the millionaire is unconvinced.
