God Accomplishes Good

Show me how you work, GOD;

School me in your ways.

Psalm 25:4 (The Message)

-----------------------

"We cannot afford to be naive about evil -- it must be faced. But we cannot be intimidated by it either. It will be used by God to bring good. For it is one of the most extraordinary aspects of the good news that God uses bad men to accomplish good purposes ... .

If we forget that the newspapers are footnotes to Scripture and not the other way around, we will finally be afraid to get out of bed in the morning. Too many of us spend far too much time with the editorial page. ... We get our interpretation of politics and economics and morals from journalists when we should be getting only information. The meaning of the world is most accurately given to us by God's Word."
