Good News

Good news! We all love some good news. And you sure ain’t hearing it on the TV these days or reading it in a news paper or scrolling through it on social media. It seems as if Satan is waging warfare on our people. You know what I mean, I don’t have to explain myself I’m sure.

I have several audio books that I’m listening to right now but I think that I need to narrow it down to just one at a time. So I think I’m gonna stick to this……..

“Eternity is now in Session” by John Ortberg. He says, You can tell a lot about people from where they get their news. If people are on one side of the political spectrum they might get their news from one source. If they’re on the other side they might get their news from another side. Where do you get your news? Jesus was among other things in the news announcing business.

Are you seeking out His news? Do you check in with Him before you come to a conclusion about a certain topic?

There is a lot of gray in the bible when it comes to some things but on the things of the heart and our salvation, there is no gray. His news is our BEST NEWS!

Mark 1:15

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

If you were raised a certain way, with certain beliefs, do you seek out His truths, His good news, His direction to make sure your beliefs as an adult align with His?

If you want a good article to read, start with John. If you want to be feed some good wisdom, read Proverbs. If you want to see that others struggle with the same problems and need help praying, check out Psalms. If you want to know how to walk your day to day life, ponder through Acts. There is lots of good news and sound instruction scattered through the Bible. But the primary Good News you need to know is Jesus! Jesus is here. He died for you so that you would be forgiven. He gave you the Holy Spirit, His Spirit, to guide you.

So don’t seek out instruction, guidance or Good News from TV, News papers or Social Media. Look to Jesus!

Lord, I do not know what I would do with out Your kind of Good News. Thank You! Amen!
