NEW RULE:
This rule has been put in place because we have had several entries that are almost totally scripture verses. While we are all for the Word of God, the judges need to see your writing to judge your entry.
If you use any Scripture verse(s) in your entry, you MUST identify the source of the Scripture, i.e. NIV, NKJV, NLT, etc. by including a footnote with that information. The passage(s) of Scripture used MUST BE quoted ACCURATELY (unless using a personal paraphrase, in which case, no reference is required other than a note to indicate this was the author's paraphrase).
When quoting scripture passages or any other source, do not use no more than around 15% in the body of the entry (academic writing typically allows between 5-10% quoted material). For clarity on what the percentages look like: Entries that are the minimum 150 words in length, you can use around 22 words of directly quoted scripture. We won't require you to cut off mid-verse/sentence. The maximum for a 150-word entry would be around 22 words. The maximum for a 750-word entry quoted material would be around 112 words, again, not cutting off mid-verse/sentence. If a larger passage is needed for clarity in your entry, simply put the reference in the body of the entry in parentheses and the site will automatically generate a link to the passage. Readers can hover over the link to read the full passage.
You must still cite all references and can only quote hymn lyrics or poetry that are in the public domain and must cite the source. The same word count/percentage applies to hymn lyrics and poetry.
Your Financial Support Makes All the Difference
Together as the Body of Christ, we are spreading the Good News in over 230 countries online and growing Christian writers who will write countless articles and books pointing people to Jesus. Your support is producing the fruit of new believers. Comments presented as received. Thank You!
1) I felt the holy spirit lead me to you and that God's message of love drew me here.
2) I want Jesus to be the number in my life.
3) I'm saved from sin and I've rededicated my life to HIM who owns me. I'm now free from lies, exam malpractice, etc. Pray for me to believe that indeed "It is finished "
4) I accepted Jesus as Lord and Need a Bible. (We sent Roger a Bible.)
5) I have accepted Jesus and praying to not continue to commit sin anymore. Matthew
6) Recently we had a Deputy Police Chief who is responsible for over 1,500 officers and staff from a major city accept Jesus as savior. He could be an enormous influence. Pray for J. Ramar.

| Encourage Fellow Writers - Commit to Comment
On At Least One Challenge Entry a Week
Reading and commenting on a regular basis offers a double blessing. The author is encouraged and grows, and those who comment learn and improve their writing skills too.
I know we are all busy. But are we too busy to comment on one Challenge entry per week? Just think how encouraged we are when people comment on our entries. If every member who receives this weekly notification commented on at least one Challenge entry per week, there would be 500 or more comments on the entries. Will you please take a few minutes right now to help and encourage a fellow writer?
