Good News Quotes

“The bad news is nothing lasts forever,
The good news is nothing lasts forever.”
― J. Cole

“This is what I say: I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, you don't have to worry, you can't change the past.

The bad news is, you don't have to worry, no matter how hard you try, you can't change the past.

The universe just doesn't put up with that. We aren't important enough. No one is. Even in our own lives. We're not strong enough, willful enough, skilled enough in chronodiegetic manipulation to be able to just accidentally change the entire course of anything, even ourselves.”
― Charles Yu, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

“What I need first of all is not exhortation, but a gospel, not directions for saving myself but knowledge of how God has saved me. Have you any good news? That is the question that I ask of you.

― J. Gresham Machen, The Christian Faith in the Modern World

― Criss Jami, Healology

“For people who are depressed, and especially for those who do not receive enough benefit from medication of for whom the side effects of antidepressants are troubling, the fact that placebos can duplicate much of the effects of antidepressants should be taken as good news. It means that there are other ways of alleviating depression. As we have seen, treatments like psychotherapy and physical exercise are at least as effective as antidepressant drugs and more effective than placebos. In particular, CBT has been shown to lower the risk of relapsing into depression for years after treatment has ended, making it particularly cost effective.”
― Irving Kirsch, The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth

“The saint sees everything as self.
The doctor of science sees everything as one.

“When the essence of the gospel is stripped down to the afterlife or to a glorious but strictly individual personal decision of faith, it’s not what Jesus described as the good news about his kingdom come. And predictably, there’s no real urgency to see our lives oriented toward a more loving and just way of being in the world. (…) At the core of the gospel, then, is the “making right” of all things through Jesus.”
― Rich Villodas, The Deeply Formed Life: Five Transformative Values to Root Us in the Way of Jesus

“The good news is: you cannot lose the truth. You cannot mess it up or miss your chance or bury the lede about what's right for you down to your toes. The truth will go on being true, whether you want it to or not. Your only choice lies in whether or not you will meet it there.”
― Heide Priebe

“A prophet proclaims the good news of God.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“The gospel isn't supposed to be comfortable, for it points us back to a cross. It up-ends all our paradigms and pushes us beyond the confines of self-interest to pour ourselves out for others. Jesus' gospel brings salt and light to a tasteless, dark world. His image bearers are agents of those life-transforming forces.

The whole gospel we are commissioned to spread means double good news to the poor, for we bring justice and mercy and Jesus to them. A partial gospel lacks that power. This is how the kingdom of heaven begins to gain ground and the Enemy is forced to relinquish strongholds of evil once thought impenetrable to kingdom forces.”
― Carolyn Custis James, Half the Church: Recapturing God's Global Vision for Women

“Baptism is the good news that Jesus' royal rain has fallen from heaven to earth, and it incorporates the baptized into Jesus' work. Jesus establishes his justice through his body. United with the King, we're kings and queens, new Adams and Eves. By baptism, we dissonant children of Adam begin to resonate with creation. Soaked with heavenly rain, we become refreshing water for the world. The church is a cascade that sweeps away brutes and thugs; the church is a gentle shower to revive the thirsty and a cooling cup of mercy and justice, offered in compassion and humility. Whatever is born of flesh is flesh; what is born of Spirit is Spirit. Born of word, we are God's word to the world. Born of water, we are water.”
― Peter J. Leithart, Baptism: A Guide to Life from Death

“It's the spirit that's behind the words and the actions that matter. This new world we moving into will require us to pray harder. And without ceasing! Stay Woke”
