Happy New Year! Actually not all cultures celebrate the new year on January 1. Maybe we shouldn’t either. As Christians we should approach every day as the start of something new, as an occasion to put past mistakes behind us and resolve to do better, and as an opportunity to claim God’s incredible grace and forgiveness through Christ. Key Scriptures: Luke 15:11-24; Psalm 51:1-12; John 3:1-21; 15:1-8. Are you feeling sleepy? sluggish? all worn out? What if the answers to all your energy problems came in a tall, shiny aluminum can?

But these drinks are known to have an adverse effect on one's health, causing anxiety, tremors, and other problems. Next week LinC looks at a healthier way to get a boost in (physical and spiritual) energy: the Holy Spirit.
