The world needs some good news

Body
The Gospels Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John are defined as “The Good News,” and it is in this that we, as Christians, can find the source of our salvation. The problem in 21st-century America is that we want to redefine Christianity and God as belonging to a set or group of people. For thousands of years, we have fought wars, justified behavior, and surrendered to authorities, all in the name of Christianity. I would hold out that there is a better way, a more Christ-like way, of loving neighbor.
