Hi, Friend!
Discover why the Gospel is good news for the broken—and why you can’t
save yourself. Trials, grace, and freedom all point to Christ alone.
What the World Gets Wrong About Good News
I’ve got good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?
We live in a world that thrives on this contrast. Headlines,
conversations, and even our inner thoughts often toggle between hope and
despair. But here’s the truth: nothing is truly “free.” Every true blessing comes at a cost to someone, and every sacrifice can point to a deeper blessing.
Where there is good news, bad news often lurks nearby—or so it seems. So what exactly is good news? And what qualifies as bad news?
From a worldly perspective, good news is anything that makes life
easier, more pleasurable, or more secure. Winning the lottery? Good
news. Getting a flat tire? Bad news. A friend being available for lunch?
Good news. A cancer diagnosis? Bad news.
But this is a shallow lens—one that only sees the surface of life.
It’s rooted in the temporal, the immediate, the flesh. Scripture reminds
us that “the things that are seen are transient, but the things that
are unseen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). There is more to this life
than just this life.
