However, I got tickled recently when I thought how we, as Christians, might reshape those headlines to focus on truth.

How different would the world look if the breaking news proclaimed the goodness, faithfulness, and mercy of God—instead of the gloom and doom that society embraces? I think we’d be an awful lot happier and more encouraged. It would help us to remind ourselves daily that the Word of God is still true, and our Sovereign God still sits on His throne. He is still the governmental center of the universe!

So, with sanctified humor and tongue in cheek, I found myself imagining some rewritten-for-good headlines. And I thought that perhaps you might also enjoy the humor of a few of these.

Friend, examine with me the following 25 “rewritten” breaking news headlines that proclaim the goodness of God.

And granted, some of these are a little long to be actual newspaper headlines; however, work with me, okay? Here we go:

I sure hope so. Remember, friend, that morning by morning God’s mercies are still new. Our nation may be in upheaval and tumults of various kinds, but our Father in Heaven still rules and reigns.
