GOOD NEWS PAPER
Broadcaster Paul Harvey reported on a Sacramento newspaper named the Good News Paper. This paper attempted to only report on good news in the city and ignored the bad news. Seems like a newspaper you’d like to read, right? But, it only survived for 36 months. It seemed that no one was interested in reading the good news, they only wanted to hear about the bad news.
Perhaps this is a case of theophobia – a fearful dislike of God. Referring to these people, Paul said, “Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God” (Romans 1:21).
While the world devours the bad news reported in the local newspapers, satellite news networks, and local news media, I still am hungry for the good news that brings peace to my heart and brings excitement to the normal affairs of life. I can’t wait to hear the next thing God wants to say to me.
