Thanks for the offer. I would love to. However, our contract prohibits us to post any article at any sites other than theirs for at least a year after an article's submission.
Please pray for me. I've been given the chance to rewrite the article, provided that it will conform to their standards, which for me amounts to nothing less than watering down the article's message. I'm thinking of withdrawing the article. However, a brother in Christ who is also a fellow contributing writer of mine at the same site, who is also a pastor, advised me to make a more strategic approach instead.
