Write a guest post for Attempts at Honesty

Posted on August 21, 2012 Written by Mark McIntyre 21 Comments


PostIf you are a blogger who would like to write a guest post for Attempts at Honesty, I would love to hear from you.

Or, if you are someone who has wondered about becoming a blogger, this is your opportunity to give it a try.

If you are interested in writing a post, please contact me by email, Facebook, Twitter or use the Contact Me form.

The following are the guidelines that I use for my own posts:

  • I prefer that the post be written for Attempts at Honesty but can be reposted elsewhere.
  • I target 300 to 600 words for a post. This is not a hard boundary. I’ve gone higher and lower on occasion when it seems appropriate to do so.
  • I’m very flexible on topics but the core theme of the blog is to encourage Christians to act in such a way as to attract outsiders to Christ. Or, to put it another way, writing about how the Gospel speaks to every day life. This can be through a challenge to something that is broken, an encouragement to a particular path, an apologetic discussion or a general Biblical observation.
  • The post must be free from personal attack. Disagree with someone’s statements, but do not attack the person. The post should be true, necessary and kind as described in this post.
  • I like to have the posts based on Scripture and encourage direct references when appropriate.
  • I don’t mind being edgy if it fits the topic, but I don’t push boundaries just to attract attention.
  • Once it is posted, check your post from time to time to respond to comments.

If you think that you can work within these guidelines and feel that you have something to say and would like to say it on Attempts at Honesty, let me know. I’m anxious to hear from you.

Experience

We Don’t Need Apologetics, We Just Need to ‘Experience’ Jesus

“We don’t need apologetics, we just need to ‘experience’ Jesus!” Unfortunately, this is something I hear from fellow believers quite often and it never fails to set off the warning sirens in my head. Read on to find out why.

Why did Joseph Weep?

Joseph certainly had a lot of things to weep about in his life. Genesis records his traumatic past in great detail. He was mistreated by his brothers and sold as a slave. He was also falsely accused by his employer’s wife and put in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He was subjected to multiple years of harsh treatment before he came into more comfortable circumstances.

Lego Ten Commandments

On shining faces

In Exodus 34 we find that as a result of being in close relationship with God, Moses’ face shone to the point where the people were afraid of him. As a result, Moses went around with a veil over his face so that the people could bear his presence. This was an anomaly, this is something that doesn’t […]

On the value of good preaching

We should expect our preacher to communicate to himself and to us the diagnosis that God makes upon our condition and the corrective action that God prescribes. We don’t need or want the preacher to interfere with this process by filtering out the inconvenient or disturbing bits.

Interaction

What bloggers like

I realize that everyone is busy. I also realize that not every post requires a comment. But if a post stimulates a thought, take a few moments and wrote a comment which expresses that thought. The post writer will appreciate it and any subsequent readers will be better for it.
