The Ethics Of Good News

Read:
2 Kings 7:3-9

We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. -2 Kings 7:9

Bible In One Year: Numbers 21-24

If a scientist discovered the cure for cancer, we would expect the discovery to be shared with the world. Basic ethics requires that good news not be kept secret.

When the king of Syria laid siege to the city of Samaria, the food supply was cut off. Four men with leprosy, deciding it would be preferable to die at the hands of the Syrians than to starve, went to surrender to the enemy. But when they came to the camp, they found it deserted. The army had fled in the night.

Food lay everywhere. The four men stuffed themselves, and they were tempted to remain silent about the good news. But then the memory of Samaria with its famished inhabitants came back to them. "We are not doing right," they told each other (2 Kings 7:9). So they became evangelists-bearers of good news. Ultimately, evangelism comes down to this: one starving person telling another starving person where to find food.

You and I have discovered that salvation is found in Jesus Christ. It is a breakdown of basic integrity to keep that truth to ourselves. If we have found the cure for a guilty conscience, if we have found the food of life, we are obligated to share it with others. -Haddon Robinson

If you've received God's great salvation,
Do not keep it to yourself;
The Bible tells where all may find it-
Do not leave it on the shelf. -Hess

Evangelism is one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

Good for all of you.

I would love to get active again - but everyone is so apolitical around here.

We have been working on this for years, finally the politicians wanted to raise the sales tax to 9.12% and the sleeping giant woke up!
