contribute an article
So you want to contribute content here at bibledude.net, eh?
That’s great! The .net in our website address means network. Part of our vision for this website is that it would be a true Christian network or community where people have the opportunity to be a part of the conversation rather than simply observe the conversation. That means that this site is nothing without you!
Contribution Guidelines
Our main goal is to keep things flexible so that you have plenty of room to let creativity reign. However, there are still some rules-of-thumb that you should consider anytime you are contributing to bibledude.net:
- Our readers are people who are active in their faith, and want to live out an authentic Christianity. Many seem to be somewhat active in ministry, whether it is a part-time volunteer or full-time staff. Regardless of level of service, most at least recognize God’s call on their life to serve in some way.
- While opinions on this will vary, it seems that the best blog posts are typically between 400-600 words. We’ve seen some longer and some shorter be ‘successful’ here, so this is not a hard guideline… only a target starting point.
- While we respect the fact that people may not share our opinions on things, we do expect that contributions remain respectful in nature. It is okay to challenge people, but it is important to avoid personal attacks and judgemental statements. Submissions that do not maintain a respectful tone will not be considered for publication.
What We Write About
- READ. (Mark Lafler, Editor)
Everything we do is built upon the world view of Biblical Christianity. That means we believe that understanding the Word of God is absolutely crucial to understanding the world and our place in it. - PRAY. (Duane Scott, Editor)
We serve a personal God, and we believe that we are able to connect with Him. These connections can come through prayer, worship, and reflection. It is in this place of spiritual practice that we believe we experience a great deal of personal growth. - SERVE. (Crystal Rowe, Editor)
James teaches us that “faith without works is dead.” We serve not out of obligation or to earn our salvation, but in response to the Love that’s been poured out for us. We believe that through serving others we can reach a lost and dying world.
