Dear Friend,
Doesn’t it seem as if good news is often in short supply?
Newspaper headlines regularly cry out about war, murder, kidnapping,
joblessness and family conflicts. Are there solutions to the
troubles of the human race? Why can’t people seem to
get along? Is there a path that can provide more than simply
“quick fixes” to our problems? Is there a way
that offers effective, lasting solutions to human clashes
and tensions? There certainly is!
There is compelling, optimistic good news available—in
fact it is the best news anyone could ever hear! Not only
does this news explain how people will learn to help rather
than hinder, but it offers hope of full, happy, cooperative,
exhilarating lives ahead for all people of all races and lands.
This is the message of the Good News magazine published
by the United Church of God, an International Association.
The Good News not only reports today’s news
and shows how people can be successful problem solvers now,
but it also explains the Creator’s plan for an incredible
future of unbelievable good will, cooperation and economic
blessing.
To help make it easier for people to find out more about
all this, we recently upgraded our presence on the Internet
using a fresh, new approach. It is now much easier and faster
for a visitor to navigate to various pages and areas. If you
haven’t had the opportunity to visit our Web site, we
encourage you to do so at www.ucg.org.
We will also soon be upgrading our Good News magazine
Web site at www.gnmagazine.org.
Currently 135,000 visitors come to the site each month. It
includes literature on-line, audio recordings, youth studies
and much more. Every day, new, relevant material is posted.
Often it is news related, focusing on world events in relation
to biblical prophecy. One especially exciting feature is a
live news feed from leading worldwide news sources, including
the BBC, IHT, CNN and Guardian Unlimited.
We are also strengthening our presence on cable-access television
and on radio. A log of the television and radio stations on
which we are airing our programs was included in the May/June
2003 issue of The Good News. We encourage you to
view that log to see if there is a station in your area. Television
and radio programs can also be seen and heard on our Internet
site. Topics of radio programs to be aired in the coming weeks
include:
• When God Doesn’t Make Sense.
• Making Sense of Today’s Confusing World.
• Cloning: Making Man in Our Image.
• Transforming Your Life.
• Origin of the Arabs.
The Good News is dedicated to pointing people to
the true, godly solutions to the troubles they encounter today
and teaching the sparkling truth of the marvelous world that
is coming tomorrow. We hope that what you read and learn provides
understanding, wisdom and encouragement. Be sure to let us
know how we can be of further help.
