Mark 16:15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
It is interesting to note what we consider to be news, if we look at the news on TV we view what the TV Station considers to be news, and this is influenced by the editorial staff. So all that we get is news that is of interest to them, because that is the news that interests them, we see this change in that it is only crime of an extraordinary nature that is now featured, sports of interest, but mostly political debate and rhetoric. In fact for the average apolitical person, who focuses on working and resting there is very little news of interest. So the spats in the ruling party, the power shift in their alliances, the slander and corruption just reinforces the apolitical person to switch off.
It is so seldom that we hear good news, news that encourages and uplifts, is it possible that we have become so used to the news media dominating what is news that we have no idea what good news is anymore? The reconciliation between people is good news, giving someone work to do is good news, the thousands of people who are working and building this country with their dreams is good news. The friendship and ability to enjoy each other is good news. But most of all we can do all of this because our country was built on the Good News of Jesus Christ. It is this Good News that we still need to share and build on, so that even the TV Stations and the political debate becomes dominated by it. It starts with us, being positive about which we are in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with and to all.
Be encouraged to be part of the Good News crew for Jesus.
Point to ponder: Jesus Christ brought Good News.
Question to consider: Are you part of the Good News crew?

There is nothing as damaging to one's psyche as a feeling of hopelessness. The media bombards us with bad news 24 hours a day. Indeed bad news seemed to be prized over stories of success and love. As a Christian I limit my exposure to negativity. News of the Lord is all we need.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone. Today on Radio Pulpit, Angus Buchan announced during an interview that
ReplyDeletehe would be going up to Zimbabwe this weekend. He will be taking a message of encouragement and he will be praying. This gives us all the
opportunity pray with him. If each of us could spread this message to our family, friends, congregation and community this prayer chain
could grow and strengthen. Blessings to you as you consider this request. Love Jen.
