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.

A response to Hungry Atheist

On July 9 of this year, I wrote a post entitled, A follow-up to some comments. One of the comments I received on that post was from someone calling himself (or herself) Hungry Atheist. I thought that I would selectively quote the comment and provide response to the points that were raised in that comment.

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.

Getting off track: 5 Enemies to Service in the Church

Recently I was asked the question as to why there is a reluctance for people to serve in the church. Here are some ideas in response to this question: Misdirected Priorities are enemies to service – We run the risk of making good things ultimate things and seek to find our satisfaction in stuff, pleasure […]

We Are Designed by God to Create, Build and Accomplish

The drive for acheivment is a good thing if it is in obedience to the two great commands given us by Jesus. That drive is God-given and is part of what it means to be created in his image.

Bread

On baskets, bread and the next generation

All the disciples were required to do was to get bread from Jesus and carry it in baskets to the people. We need to carry the gospel to our youth. We need to possess it and understand it before we can impart it to the next generation.
