Gospel literally means “good news.” What impact should receiving that news have on you and I, and on how we approach all the bad news around us?

This article is worth the read. I’ve been thinking a lot about joy, and part of the journey toward that is taking what the Bible says about it seriously (apparently an oxymoron, but really it’s not). If Paul said he had joy in prison, he actually did. If you don’t believe joy is possible, it will never happen.

And by the way, if I ever finish my next long post, it will be about finding joy in an unlikely place.
