Crowd the Platform in love

The aim of this exercise is 1) to encourage Christians to “get woke and stay woke” about what is going on in the world and knowing (and aligning) with the God-View, and 2) to encourage Christians to #crowdtheplatform and share the God-View with the world, in love.

So, no slurs, no hateful, discriminatory comments, no maligning of anyone, people group, religion, race, culture, nationality, ethnicity, sexual inclination, gender. Indeed sometimes the God-View may represent something that comes across as offensive but through this exercise, we learn to know and engage God’s heart on these sticky-tricky issues, and God’s heart is not to malign but to draw all people to Himself (even while possibly chastising them for their practices).

*A piece that falls short of this criterion will not be published.

Moderation

I will prayerfully moderate all pieces sent to me and I reserve the last say as to whether to publish the piece. I will consider the following when I moderate:

  • Is the God-View communicated in love?
  • Is the view expressed really aligned with what the Bible says about the God-View on the matter?
  • Did the contributor genuinely engage the Bible in an intentional search of the God-View or is the piece really just a personal opinion?
  • Does the piece comply with the guide (especially length of piece)?

Publication

I will share the final version of the piece with you and if you are happy with it, I will publish it at the appropriate time, on my various public platforms and attribute it to you.
