How “Worthy News” was founded?
Worthy News was founded in 1999 on the verse, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” [Luke 21:36]
The Mission of Worthy News
The first portion of the passage is a command by the Lord to “Watch!” We are all called to watch and to earnestly await the Lord’s return. In Ezekiel, the prophet warns that if the watchman fails to sound the alarm, then the blood is required at his own hand. We are carefully watching world events from a Christian worldview, sounding the alarm, warning that the Lord’s return is very near, and urging our readers to be aware and to prepare for His arrival.
The second command in the passage is to “pray always.” Our hope is to effectively inform “watchmen” who will pray for the daily and developing events which we report on.
How Worthy News is Compiled
When Worthy News first launched, we mirrored the Drudge Report’s model, selectively linking to articles to inform our readers. Over time, we observed a shift in media from fact-based to narrative-driven reporting, often bordering on “fake news.” In response, we now create a wealth of stories each week, freely available for syndication to ministries eager to keep their followers abreast of global developments. We’ve expanded to include journalists worldwide, ensuring we deliver comprehensive and accurate reports from the ground.
Worthy News rigorously selects impactful stories, assigning journalists globally to report on prophetically significant and noteworthy events daily. Our reporting is not driven by advertising revenues but by a commitment to provide Christians with the day’s most “Worthy News,” avoiding “fake news” and unreliable sources. Amid a political landscape often marred by divisive class warfare, we maintain an unbiased approach. While our views are informed by biblical principles, we aim to deliver the news impartially and truthfully, steering clear of the divisive rhetoric that dominates much of today’s public discourse.
Our Hope
Often, news events related to prophecy are fear driven, and while we respect all true intentions to issue warnings, we also remember that “prophecy is given for edification, exhortation, and comfort’. [1 Cor 14:3] By reporting the news events of these last days, we seek to awaken a keen awareness of the soon return of our Lord — not based in fear, but in the secure confidence that everything He described in His Word is being and will be perfectly fulfilled. Our “blessed hope” is at the doorstep! May we be found “Worthy” to escape these things and hear these words, “Well, done thou good and faithful servant.”
