\u201cJoel Belz, founder of WORLD News Group, died Sunday at his home in Asheville, N.C., from complications of Parkinson\u2019s disease. He was 82.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who knew Belz esteemed him as an exemplary son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, elder, teacher, journalist, and publisher. He saw himself as nothing more than a great sinner who had received great mercy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust as it is for every sinner, mine is a story of what God has done for me\u2014not what I have done for Him,\u201d Belz wrote in 2021 in his WORLD Magazine column.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belz was born in Marshalltown, Iowa, in 1941, the second of eight children of Max and Jean Belz. His parents prioritized Christian education for their children.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaily reading and Bible classes were assumed,\u201d Belz wrote of his childhood. \u201cWe took notes on the sermons we heard. And we memorized Scripture\u2014so that all these years later, 20 or more entire Psalms are still stashed away in my increasingly Parkinson\u2019s-wobbly memory\u2026\u201d\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nClick above to read more… <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I am a recent listener to the daily news podcast produced by WORLD called, \u201cThe WORLD, and Everything In It.\u201d This podcast, suggested to me by our elder, Joel Allardyce, has been a huge blessing to me over the last few months as a bastion of truth and reason in a world where people all around us seem to be losing their minds. I listen to it now almost every weekday morning, before I tune into any other news media outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very touched by the tribute that they gave for their founder, Joel Belz, on Monday morning following his death this last Lord\u2019s Day. I was inspired by his faithfulness to our God and to the Church. The founding premise for WORLD news corp is from Psalm 24:1 which emphatically states that, \u201cThe earth is the Lord\u2019s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I encourage you to not only read this article about the founder but also to tune into their daily news podcast and avail yourself of their various journalistic endeavors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
