FIVE REASONS TO READ A CHRISTIAN NEWSPAPER
Evangelicals
Now is a monthly Christian newspaper which reports news from across the
UK and around the world concerning Bible believing Christians of all
backgrounds.
Why should Christians read such a newspaper? Here are 5 good
reasons:
1. INSIGHT
We need to read a Christian newspaper because the secular
media rarely report on the great strides the gospel is making worldwide, or if
they do they usually manage to misreport what is going on.
2. UNITY
God’s word tells us that all true Christians are one in
Christ Jesus. By reading news of other believers nationally and globally we
give concrete expression to that oneness.
3. BALANCE
As we find out about
Christians and churches at home and abroad and their successes for the gospel
or the challenges they face, we are put in touch with an up to date and overall
picture of what God himself is doing in our day. This makes us more balanced as
Christians.
4. SOLIDARITY
As we read news of other brothers and sisters we have the
opportunity to stand with them in prayer and so become co-workers with God in
this generation.
5. DISCIPLESHIP
As we take interest by reading about other Christians we are
delivered from parochialism, self-centredness and party spirit and show God
that we really do care about his
kingdom and not just our little bit of it. This is a mark of a true disciple.
