The Christian life is one of balance, and the news is one example. We should be informed. We should know what's going on and strive to have accurate information. We should study. But as Eccles. 12:12 says much study is a weariness of the flesh. There's a downside to too much news. We need to be careful how much we're consuming.

Day 3: Read 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 and John 10:28 How are we like the falling man?
