‘Something To Think About’ B101.5 FM Radio Message – 1/7/16

 

Anne Frank said: “Everyone has inside them a piece of good news.”

This is so true – yet – the constant barrage of bad news that is taking place here in America and around the world, in many ways, seems to squash down, limit, and overshadow that good news. From terrorism, to crime, poverty and war, there’s more than enough bad news to go around.

Good news is much more than the absence of bad news. Good news is the very thing that obliterates bad news – and – speaks of the true life, the way God intended it to be from the very beginning. The gospel is called the ‘Good News’, because it carries with it, not only the power to destroy evil, but also the message of hope, joy, peace, restoration, salvation, healing, forgiveness, grace, everlasting life, and best of all, God’s unfailing love for all of us.

Every day we are faced with the harsh realities of this life. The fact is, the bad news is real, very real and it should not be ignored, and cannot be avoided. But there is good news, and it is that the ‘Truth’ of God’s word, is greater than the facts of this life. The truth of light, is greater than the fact of darkness. The truth of hope is greater than the fact of despair, and the truth of good is greater than the fact of evil.

We may be surrounded by the facts of bad news, but we can choose to be the bearers of the truth of the good news. Bad news will dominate the conversation, if good news is not being told, just as darkness dominates a room at midnight, until the light is turned on in that room.

Think about that good news inside of you. You can make someone smile with that good news. You can relieve suffering, and bring hope and joy and gladness of heart with that good news.

One tiny candle can obliterate a room full of darkness. Light a candle today, with the good news inside of you.

The Gospel is the Good News.

  1. When we we have Jesus as our Light,many times words aren’t needed! Just walking in the room or atmosphere of darkness brings the light of Christ! Yet there are other times when we know God is giving us the great opportunity to share The Good news of The Gospel! So with boldness ,we need to move in faith with no fear of what someone may say or do,using wisdom and Gods leading,I also will light my candle everyday! Thank you for this message!

  2. As teachers/followers it is our responsibility to light our own candle before helping light someone else’s – similar to grab your own oxygen mask in the plane first. Let our light so shine before men… People can see the light and the joy in you, even more when the know you are going through something. This is a great reminder and a great way to start the day!

  3. EVERYDAY THAT GOD GIVES ME AND WITH HIS HELP, I WILL SHARE THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD… JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD…
