All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (II Timothy 3:16,17 ESV)
The News and Faith
We expect The News to be correctly informing us. We should accept and understand bias, (no news is truly fair and unbiased) but we expect honesty and accuracy. And we are often disappointed.
But perhaps we should not be disappointed. Because The News is by its nature not primarily interested in honesty or accuracy. The News is interested in selling information.
But the pricks, jolts, and upheavals caused when we discovery inaccuracy in The News can be a spiritually useful thing. Rather than merely fume, smolder, and complain, the dishonesty and inaccuracy of The News can be a goad.
We have a news-giver that is honest, accurate, personal, encouraging, and challenging.
We have God’s Word.
So when our hearts yearn for better News, remember that we have plenty. God’s Word has proved itself reliable, gripping, and necessary. It is believable.
Take the faith God grants us.
