The purpose of this feature is to stimulate preachers' thinking about what God is doing to alleviate suffering and overcome oppression, and to illustrate how local congregations might join in that divine work.

Many people have asked me how I keep up with the news. The answer is that I read, read, read. It is not possible to get news in depth from television. Perhaps this running selection of excerpts from various news sources can be a stimulus for pastors. The idea is to use some of these illustrations to show where Christians can align themselves with God's justifying purpose. He is already at work. How can we join him where his purposes are going forward?

Do not fear plagiarism. I will be working much of this material into my own sermons, but I will do it in my own way and readers will do it in theirs.
