For more than 16 years The Good News has given its readers insight and understanding into how a world of such incredible technological achievement and advances can at the same time be afflicted with seemingly unsolvable age-old problems.
If you've been reading long, you might be coming to see that humanity's problems are spiritual in nature and thus require spiritual solutions.
Our problems are, at heart, of the heart. Under the influence of Satan the devil, mankind has rejected God's revelation and persisted in doing things our own way-a way that seems right to us, but ultimately leads to death (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25). In seeking to please ourselves, we have forsaken God's revelation for how we should live.
The Bible describes two basic ways of life. We could summarize them basically as the way of give and the way of get. One focuses on serving self and one focuses on serving others. God is the greatest of givers. James 1:17 tells us, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father . . ." Giving expresses His way of love, and "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16).
Since The Good News was first started in 1995, we have always offered it at no charge to all who ask. We share it freely in accordance with Christ's instruction, "Freely you have received; freely give" (Matthew 10:8). This great undertaking-sharing these biblical truths with hundreds of thousands of subscribers in six languages and reaching into nearly every country around the globe-is made possible by the tithes and offerings of those who believe in this message of hope and voluntarily contribute so this message of the true gospel may reach all nations.
We do not solicit funds, but we welcome into our growing family of coworkers those who have joined us in this "give" way of life and who wish to help share this message of hope and truth throughout the world.
