YOU NEED MORE GOOD NEWS by William Boekestein for Core Christianity How much bad news do you need? How much good news? And is there a right mix? More personally, have you found it? And to get practical, might an imbalanced intake-ratio of bad and good news magnify your troubles and minimize your faithfulness? God doesn’t want people to be uninformed.

Why Did Jesus Command Others to Be Silent About Him? by GREG LANIER for The Gospel Coalition Batman has the wealthy businessman persona. Spiderman has school and a camera. Superman has, well, glasses. Each of these classic superheroes hides his true identity underneath the (admittedly thin) layer of an alter ego. Jesus, however, directly tells others to keep quiet about his identity. This motif of secrecy first surfaces in Mark 1:24–25, when he commands a demon to “be silent,” and it runs through Mark’s Gospel. But why does Jesus do this? Doesn’t he…
