World News and Trends Coming a law abiding world
From the biblical point of view, we have reason to be optimistic.
God promises a utopian world of lasting peace and prosperity, governed by the rule of law (Isaiah 2:1-4; Micah 4:1-3). Obedience to God's law will become universal, embracing all continents—including Africa, whose sufferings will become a thing of the past, long forgotten by its happy citizenry. This is part of the gospel—the good news—Jesus brought.
You can learn much more by requesting the free booklets The Gospel of the Kingdom, The Ten Commandments and Making Life Work. They will help you understand and experience the benefits of being a law—abiding person in the midst of a world that all too often rejects law and authority.

John Ross Schroeder
John died on March 8, 2014, in Oxford, England, four days after suffering cardiac arrest while returning home from a press event in London. John was 77 and still going strong.
Some of John's work for The Good News appeared under his byline, but much didn't. He wrote more than a thousand articles over the years, but also wrote the Questions and Answers section of the magazine, compiled our Letters From Our Readers, and wrote many of the items in the Current Events and Trends section. He also contributed greatly to a number of our study guides and Bible Study Course lessons. His writing has touched the lives of literally millions of people over the years.
John traveled widely over the years as an accredited journalist, especially in Europe. His knowledge of European and Middle East history added a great deal to his articles on history and Bible prophecy.
In his later years he also pastored congregations in Northern Ireland and East Sussex, and that experience added another dimension to his writing. He and his wife Jan were an effective team in our British Isles office near their home.
John was a humble servant who dedicated his life to sharing the gospel—the good news—of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to all the world, and his work was known to readers in nearly every country of the world.
