What Should I Write About?

I spent some time this morning writing an article for a magazine. They had requested a 600-word article on “What is the greatest hindrance to the gospel today?” I’ve found that articles like this pose a special kind of challenge to me. While I take time to write every day, far more often than not I am writing about what I want to write about. I set my own topics and write about whatever interests me that day. Writing for magazines, on the other hand, forces me to be a little bit more disciplined and forces me to think in whole different ways. It is a good discipline, I think, and a good challenge.
It occurred to me this morning that it might be fun to solicit article ideas from the people who read this site. I do receive occasional suggestions from readers who find their way to the contact form, but never have I actually asked for you to send me potential topics. So here I go, trying something new. If you can think of something that I could or should write about (an article, a series, etc), if you have a question you feel I could answer, simply fill out this form (RSS readers may need to actually visit the site) and send your suggestion(s) my way. Obviously I cannot promise to respond to all of them, but I will attempt to write articles or responses to at least some of them. Note that the email and “how many words” fields are entirely optional.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband to Aileen and a father to three young children. I worship and serve as a pastor at

might be something to write about.
TimI think Eph. 4:14 is something that covers what I believe is one of the greatest hindrences to the Gospel today.

I don’t know if I would say that the gospel is hindered so much as that it is assumed and/or underestimated. Wasn’t it Spurgeon who said that the gospel is like a roaring lion that only needs to be unleashed? Assumption and traditionalism among groups who claim to have no traditions are two major ways that we have undermined our presentation of the gospel.
