Good News In A Bad World Scott Pauley

Good news, sharing your faith in hard times.

Today’s ETJ podcast concludes our study of the first section of Acts. What an encouragement this portion of Scripture has been to my faith! The Adventure Continues…and shortly we will return to our series in this amazing book. Over the next two weeks, leading up to Resurrection Sunday, we are excited to share with you a short study on some of the greatest gospel passages in the Bible.

Good News in a Bad World

Our world is inundated with bad news, but the good news of Christ is greater than all of it combined! The Lord Jesus brings good news both for this life and the world to come. More than ever, we need to know it, meditate on it, revel in it, and share it.

This week I had the privilege to speak to a fine group of young people on how to begin sharing Christ with others. Our text was a little known but powerful verse in Proverbs, one of Solomon’s sentence sermons: “As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country” (Proverbs 25:25). We have the privilege and opportunity to carry the water of life – to share the good news of salvation! Thirsty souls are waiting.

Join us for this short series beginning Monday, and invite others who need Christ to listen. Let’s pray together that many will hear the gospel and be saved. And, let’s determine to do what we can in these days to deliver the good news to as many people as possible.

“For the gospel’s sake,”

Algorithms or Almighty God: Who Defines You?

When Onesimus was thrown in jail, Paul shared with him the glorious message of forgiveness and mercy in Jesus Christ. Onesimus becoame a believer as well. Imagine his shock when he found out the man who had just led him to the Lord Jesus Christ also showed his master (Philemon) how to be saved. Further, they are dear friends! Onesimus was sent back to Philemon, back home with a letter of pardon. That letter stated that his life was changed forever.

The purpose of Bible memory and how to practice it. God wrote a memory Book! This is what the Word of God was given for: to help us remember what God wants us to remember and what we are so prone to forget. Scripture memory is frequently emphasized to children and young people, but sorely neglected as we get older. Yet this is the time when God's Word most needs to be reinforced and rehearsed! Hebrews 2:1 says, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
