For more than 20 years The Good News has been bringing readers the same good news -- which is the meaning of the term "gospel" -- that Jesus Christ brought when He walked the earth 2,000 years ago. He came "preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel'" (Mark 1:14-15 ).
We bear that same message -- the message of the Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ will establish throughout the world following His return to the earth, and how you and I now, through repentance and belief in that Kingdom, submit to the rule and way of life of the King of that Kingdom.
That is a truly life-transforming message, if we allow our Creator to work within us to change us from the inside out. It is also a message of great hope, because although we live in a time of great turmoil and trouble, "if God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31 ).
We know that God is working out His plan, and it will come to pass exactly as He sees fit. We look forward to a world and a way of life beyond today.
And that leads to some big news about The Good News. Beginning with the next issue, we are changing the name of The Good News to Beyond Today to reflect this hope and mindset. This move is also to better distinguish our publication from others using the name "good news" and to link our magazine more closely to our Beyond Today television program and Internet websites.
You'll still be receiving the same eye-opening articles you're used to from The Good News, but in a new, more eye-catching package.
The same staff will still be working hard to bring you what our readers have regularly told us they like best -- what they need to make both the Bible and the world around us make sense.
We'll continue to bring you in-depth analysis of God's plan and purpose for you and your loved ones. We'll show how Bible prophecy sheds light on the troubling and dangerous trends shaping our world and where these are ultimately taking us. We'll continue to explain God's Word in clear, down-to-earth language to help you understand and act on what it reveals.
We'll give you revealing studies about what the Bible teaches about various topics relevant to your life, and explain lessons we can learn from the lives of biblical characters. Most important of all, we'll show you how to become the kind of person God wants you to be.
All of these tie in with the name Beyond Today . We want to share with readers the hope of a new world beyond today -- a world in which "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:9 ). We also want to help you learn how to start living by the values of that Kingdom and begin experiencing its blessings now.
You don't need to do anything to continue to receive this renamed and refreshed magazine. Your subscription will continue as before with no charge.
We look forward to having you with us as we turn the page on a new chapter with this magazine. We also hope you'll continue to join us in praying to God, "Your Kingdom come!"
