Good advice is always nice. It can help us find our way or sort through all kinds of problems. The only thing is, good advice still leaves one big issue- we have to apply it. We still have to go out and do the thing we’ve been advised on. Far better for us is good news- an announcement of something that has already been done. Chandler Rowlen with RUF, our local missions partner, shows the difference between those two things is filled with exasperation, exhaustion, and eventually hopelessness. But the Gospel (i.e. literally the good news) is the remedy for a world full of good (and bad) advice.
