I mentioned in a previous post that I enjoy listening to Al Mohler’s (albertmohler.com) blog almost daily for his Christian perspective on the news – they are usually about 15 minutes.
But there are some other sources I’d like to bring to your attention. First is World Magazine (worldmag.com). World is a good news source for Christians in that it is written from a Christian worldview perspective. It is published every two weeks and covers quite a few topics, both current events as well as more in depth stories of interest to Christians. You don’t have to worry about inappropriate pictures or articles either. World magazine also includes 4-5 editorials that are thought provoking and biblical. The magazine can be read via a magazine format or on your tablet as well. World also has a daily podcast (The World and Everything In It) that gives a more thorough report of daily events. I don’t listen to it everyday but have found it to be very informative when I have. World might be a good alternative to secular papers/magazines to which you have subscribed.
Finally, World also has magazines for younger kids, kids and teens (one for each). We have purchased the kids and teens versions (both paper and electronic) for our kids and have enjoyed the contents so far.
One warning: I do not encourage anyone to be a ‘newshound.’ News is old as soon as you read it. I would not encourage kids to read the news in place of good books, but merely as a supplement and so that they can be familiar with some of the events going on around them in the world. As always, discretion and wisdom should prevail.
