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.

Forgetting what lies behind

So while we may not totally forget the failures of the past, we can live knowing that we are not stuck and those failures don’t define us.

C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis on Christian morality

People often think of Christian morality as a kind of bargain in which God says, ‘If you keep a lot of rules I’ll reward you, and if you don’t I’ll do the other thing.’ I don’t think that is the best way of looking at it.

On enduring suffering

We can submit to the process and be grateful, or we can shake our fists at the heavens in resentment and cursing. Moment by moment the choice is ours.

Upside Down

When Jesus gathered his disciples for the last time before his death, something unexpected happened.

On the difference between a hireling and a shepherd

In John 10:12–13 Jesus is quoted as saying the following about the difference between a hired hand and a shepherd: “The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The […]
