Monday musings
Instant communication is the norm in our day and age. Instant messaging, social media, email, cellphones, and live audio/video chat are all readily available, and heavily used. Never has such a quantity of information been shared. The quality of information shared, however, is another matter. Social media, in particular, has become a major outlet for daily mundane information.
"How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" (Isaiah 52:7)
What if those whose vantage point is "the mountains" - the elevated position enjoyed by the people of God - utilized today's technological communication methods to bring good news? Fact is, there are many who do this very thing. But, the proliferation of these modern communication methods allow every believer to do so.
The content to be communicated is very clear from Isaiah 52.7. The "good news" of "peace", "happiness", "salvation", and "Your God reigns" can be nothing other than the message of the kingdom of God. A solution is coming for all of planet earth's ills, and the downtrodden of the world so desperately need to hear this good news! This salvation message shines like a bright beacon of light against the gathering dark clouds of the end of this final era.
How could the people of God be an army of "good news bearers", armed with today's communication technology? It only requires basic Bible understanding, a burden for the lost, and initiative with today's tools. Those who are responsive can then be lovingly and deliberately discipled.
Both the goods news, and the tools to communicate it, our in our hands. What will you do today with what you have been entrusted with?
