 Articles
HopeChest is
primarily reader written, and we always welcome submissions. Our
greatest ongoing need is for nonfiction with a personal touch, but
we’re also glad to consider well-written short stories and original
poetry. Please send only original, unpublished work and include a short
bio and picture of yourself. At this time, we cannot offer payment for
articles we print. However, we very much appreciate your willingness to
use your writing talent to glorify God and encourage others through HopeChest!
Interviews
Interviews are
always greatly enjoyed by our readers. If you'd like to be considered
for an interview, please send a letter briefly introducing yourself and
your family. We so appreciate your willingness to give us a glimpse in
your heart and life.
Commencements
Another HopeChest
favorite has been the Commencement feature, profiling young ladies'
journeys since high school graduation. If you have graduated and would
consider sharing about your schooling experience (especially high
school), what you've done since graduation, who/what influenced you to
make that decision, and what the Lord has taught you, please contact us.
Other
Articles
Please send
submissions for different columns on separate sheets of paper for ease
of filing. If you send photos which you would like us to return, please
note that on the back of the photo and enclose an SASE. Also, remember
that if you're under eighteen, we need a parent's signature in order to
print your address. Though we endeavor to retain each author’s unique
writing style and message, HopeChest does reserve the right to
edit submissions for clarity, suitability, and grammatical correctness.

Statement
of Faith
Before
submitting an article to HopeChest, please make sure your beliefs are in
agreement with our statement of faith. Your writing should point its
readers to Jesus Christ and His Word—not themselves, a certain belief
or denomination, or a set of rules. We endeavor to encourage beautiful
girlhood, noble womanhood, godly motherhood, purity, holiness, and
femininity through HopeChest.
We
Believe…
In only one God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. (Dt. 6:4. Mt. 28:19-20. Jn. 1:1-3,14. Jn. 10:30. Jn.
16:7-14.)
The
Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament in their original
forms, to be the inspired Word of God—infallible, inerrant, and
complete—the one supreme authority for the Christian’s faith and
practice. (2 Tim. 3:16. 2 Pet. 1:20-21.)
In
Jesus Christ's virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His substitutionary
and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection and ascension, and in His
personal return. (Jn. 1:1-3. Jn. 3:16. Lk. 1:35. Acts 1:9-11. Rom. 8:34.
1 Cor. 15:3,4. 1 Jn. 2:2. 1 Jn. 3:5.)
Man,
sinful in nature and act, can be saved from the just condemnation of God
only by faith in the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and by
regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Jn. 3:3-7. Acts 4:12. Rom. 3:21-24.
Eph. 2:1-3,12. Ti. 3:3-7.)
