In the January 22 issue, LinC takes a look at what it really means to love one’s neighbor. The makers of Ricola® cough drops are offering cash prizes (up to $1 million) to people who offer Ricola® cough drops to designated “mystery coughers.” One million dollars is a lot of money for a small act of kindness—something Christ calls us to do regardless of a possible reward. Key Scriptures: Isaiah 58:1-12; Matthew 25:31-46; Luke 10:30-35; Acts 3:1-10. In the January 29 issue, LinC takes a look at how the confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito have drawn further attention to what some are calling the “Culture War.” Historically, Christianity has been a countercultural faith. How can Christians today—who have various perspectives on the so-called “Culture War”—influence the culture in Christlike ways?
