Bad News and a Great Good God
Our goal here at the The Stream is to give you a realistic picture of the world, with a realistic perspective. For some organizations that would mean “all the news in all its raw ugliness.” Here it means recognizing the world we see around us is only a small part of reality. As bad as it the news may be — and it can be very bad — God is still King, and He still knows what He’s doing. We won’t see that overtly in every article, but we intend it to pervade our body of work.
Don’t think that’s any easier for us than it is for you. It might be harder. Like the prophets of old, part of our job is seeing, revealing, and exposing sin and error that seeks to destroy our land and our loved ones.
We’re not confused over authority here. The prophets could say straight up, “Thus says the Lord, and this is what’s going to happen.” For us it’s considerably less than that: “Thus says God in His word, and if He remains consistent this is what we can expect to happen.” Or, “History — or even common sense — teaches us lessons we dare not lose sight of.”
