Letters From Our Readers - July/August 2012

article by Good News Editor

Readers of The Good News share their thoughts in the July/August 2012 issue.

"The Middle East: Focus of End-Time Prophecy"

I just read your article in the May-June issue on the Middle East . It was wonderful. I imagined a Good News subscriber reading that for the first time and having all those biblical prophecies explained. It is really convicting and I just wanted to say, "Great job."

Reader from Queensland, Australia

"Ahmadinejad's Apocalypse"

The article on page 2 of the May-June Good News, "Ahmadinejad's Apocalypse ," was interesting and informative, which gets to the heart of what Iran is intending to do.

"Remembering the Titanic: Lessons for Our Day"

I'm still reading the March-April Good News, and today I read the article on the Titanic , making the parallel with what's coming. I was blown away. It's hard for me to picture-to get it into my head, the disaster that's ahead-and not that far ahead. I'm a senior citizen, born at the beginning of World War II. I was not in the military and never experienced combat. I've never gone hungry or been in a serious natural disaster. I've lived my whole life in the United States and always had all of life's necessities. But I have seen the movie Titanic. Between that and your article, I now have a much better picture of what can change and happen in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the wakeup call.

"Assistance Programs: Offering a Hand Up, Not Just a Handout"

I received your 100th issue of The Good News . I was very much blessed when I went through its pages. "Offering a Hand Up, Not Just a Handout " attracted me more than any other article. I am an Ethiopian by birth, who fled my country in 1999 because of political unrest and lived in Nairobi, Kenya for five years. Now I am residing in Portland, Oregon, as I settled in the United States as a refugee. I find that churches are helping disadvantaged ones in the form of handouts. I am always against this temporary assistance. Although it is helpful in a time of emergency, it doesn't give a lasting solution. Rather it encourages the beneficiaries to be dependent.
