Good News, Bad News
I don’t know what I should think of this, but one of our members sent me the
following piece about good news and bad news.
Good News: The Ladies’ Bible Class voted to send you a get-well card.
Bad News: The vote passed by 31-30.
Good News: The elders accepted your job description the way you wrote it.
Bad News: They were so inspired by it, they also formed a search committee to
find somebody capable of filling the position.
Good News: Mrs. Jones is wild about your sermons.
Bad News: Mrs. Jones is also wild about "The Gong Show," "The Jerry
Springer Show," and "Texas Chain Saw Massacre."
Good News: Church attendance rose dramatically the last three weeks.
Bad News: You were on vacation.
Good News: Your elders want to send you to the "Holy Land."
Bad News: They are stalling until the next war
Life is filled with good news and bad news. And the Bible is too. The good
news is that Christ took our place on the cross and died for our sins. The bad
news is that not everyone chooses to respond to that act of love.
"As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of
peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’ But they have not all obeyed the
gospel" (Romans 10:15b-16a).
We should pray for open doors and open hearts this week as we exercise
our "beautiful feet."
Have I told you lately that I love you?
William
