NEWS

Have you ever pondered the term news?  Is such not merely the plural of new?

The spirit of man seems to have been blessed by the Creator to hunger for the new(s). 

News....man hungers for the fresh, the current, and the contemporary.  Our happiest days are when they are filled with new(s) vs old; new(er) car, new clothes, and new(er) house.  We live to obtain the news.

Isn't God's kingdom all about the news?  New life, new song, new hope....new day by day?

The concept of Restoration is only right when it leads us to the news.  Even the word GOSPEL means too good of new(s) to be true! 

So here's what I experience in the church and in the kingdom.  The news (those newer and newest items) are the very things for which the soul hungers.  We are built upon growing toward the news of life.

Where society has been acclimated to believe the morning papers and the 5:00 News on TV are the news of the moment; not true.  The real news are the new things God plants in the believers heart which can find no satisfaction in the old of the past; regardless of how we drag it along and shine it up as current.

Take a look at the new(er) generations.  What are we experiencing?  In many churches they are leaving.  We aren't handed a task of pacifying these.  We are very challenged, though, to estimate what it is among us we like that is old as well as satisfying and consider if there are many more new(s) needed which would authentically be from the Spirit of God.
