What about a "good news" app?

What kind of news might the peoples of the world welcome?  What would bring a smile if it were to flash across the screen, pop up in an email, or scroll across a tweet?

If there were a GOOD NEWS app, what might bring joy when someone clicked on "open"?

GOOD NEWS CANDIDATES

From what I can observe, people welcome the following news -

• someone (at best, "me!") has won a multi-million $ lottery
• a cure for some wasting disease has been discovered
• my team is national champion!
• great weather ahead
• I've been given a raise!
• the economy is improving
• a grandchild is on the way!
• a hero came through for someone in difficult straits
• a criminal received his/her due
• a billionaire has given it all away

It's worth asking: what news would lift your heart?

BEST NEWS APP

I've been asking people what they perceive that they really need.  I'm grateful people I've approached have thoughtfully responded on simple surveys.  Answers like "more time," "to find a well paying job that fits me," and "to be loved" are common.  People are clearly preoccupied with the immediate, or the very personal.

God has the best news for each and every person, a sort of "good news app" if you will.  Anyone can download it by reading Paul's letter to the Romans.  The "app" offers that for which our greatest need begs.

Our greatest need is found in our lack of righteousness, and the inevitable prospect of standing before a thoroughly righteous God at the end of our threescore and ten here.  The best news available is (to use John Stott's well-crafted words) that "God's righteous initiative is putting sinners right with Himself, by bestowing on them a righteousness which is not their own but His...God's righteous way of pronouncing the unrighteous righteous...He has done it through Christ."

Share the app (Romans 1:16-17)!
