Crossmap Columns was launched in June 2004 to showcase uplifting and encouraging columns from Christian writers. The Crossmap team set a goal of obtaining ten columnists to launch the section, and by the grace of the good Lord, that number was met almost immediately. Crossmap is thankful to its contributors for allowing Crossmap to post their works for the greater good of the Christian community.
Crossmap posts columns with the young to mature Christian in mind. Although we will have some articles written about the very basics of faith, and several about more mature ideas such as Christian philosophy, the majority of columns focus strictly on how to be better Christians. For young and growing Christians, these columns should be invaluable – they are insights into the daily lives of Christians who have already walked the path of the Lord for years, and in some cases, decades. Columns are written by husbands and wives teaching how to be more loving and considerate, by fathers and mothers explaining how to best raise children, and by pastors whose writings are extensions of the sermons they have lived preaching.
Because our columns section focuses on the spiritual and faith-based aspects of Christian life, we do not post columns whose focus is too far from the Lord. We do not post many political articles, as there are plenty of forums online for that discussion. We intend instead for all Christians to learn first how to walk in faith with the Lord, before translating that faith into supporting causes in the real world.
If you believe that the Lord is calling you to contribute your works to Crossmap.com as a columnist, you can contact the Crossmap staff at our Become a Contributor section. We believe that all works here are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that through the humble prayers of each writer, beautiful writings are created teaching all to live lives in the Lord
