It’s been an exciting 30th Olympiad in London! To
see the Fabulous 5, Mark Phelps, and Missy Franklin win has been welcome news
that we love to listen to. But in recent years we haven’t been listening as much
to the traditional sources of the news. Newspaper sales are down. Many news
agencies have cut back considerably, and fewer reporters are being sent out now
to collect the reports. People don’t believe in the accuracy of much reporting.
According to people news, people are believing less of the news (see chart.)
But there is more talking going on electronically now. People are less willing
to listen to ‘experts’ on the news of the day, but want to listen more to
people they know and choose. So what? It means that we have more opportunity
now than ever in being speakers of good news. And we have the opportunity to
tell the good news truthfully. Since the truth of our Lord sets us free from
the darkness of life, we have more power now than ever to witness to the light
of Christ, to a world that wants, needs, and longs for the healing that Christ
brings. So let’s not grow weary in speaking the truth of Christ in love, the
world really is listening for some good news!
