It’s that time again! SharperIron is inviting anyone with writing talent to submit an article for our 2nd annual Writing Contest. This year, we’ll be selecting up to three winning articles and awarding each a spot on the front page as well as $125. If you submit more than one article, you might even win more than once.
The deadline for turning in an article for the contest is midnight, June 30.
Articles should be about 1200 to 1700 words in length and not previously published. They may be on any topic. The topics below are of special interest and are a factor in evaluating winners, but not a major factor. We like surprises, too.
Please include a brief bio with your submission and email it in .doc or .odt format to submissions @sharperiron.org.
Suggested topics
* Internet and new communication technologies in the life of a Christian
* Scriptural church government (what does the Bible mandate, what does it allow, which is preferable: a plurality of elders, a pastor, a combination of both?)
* What is the proper role of women in “leadership” in churches? (should a woman be a Sunday School Superintendent, for example?)
* Does the Christian day school have a future? If so, what might it be?
* A commonly misunderstood passage of Scripture
* The role of spiritual disciplines in Christian growth
* Is there any value in electing wise and just political leaders vs. the alternative?
* Advice for parents in our times
(More information HERE.)
