"History," "lessons," "sayings," "annals," "accounts," "narrative," "story," "chronicles," "record" . . . God had many options to choose as an analogy for His Word - He chose Gospel (Good News) because it is indeed news and good - in contrast to the bad news we hear all the time It is not coincidental (almost humorous) that God uses the term "Gospel" (Good News) to describe His Word and message - which has more meaning in the early 21st Century than ever before. There has never been a greater need for Good News than now - even with (and maybe because of) our unprecedented wealth, leisure and comfort. CHAUTAUQUA HEADLINE NEWS is written to help show the Gospel is indeed Good News - not as a replacement for reading the Bible, but to assist the Bible reader see its critical relevance in the everyday trials of life.
