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? Key Scriptures: Isaiah 30:1-7; Matthew 5:13-16; 22:15-22; John 18:33-38. In the February 5 issue, LinC takes a fresh look at forgiveness. Rapper Eminem and his ex-wife Kim recently reconciled their marriage after years of divorce, during which Eminem wrote violent lyrics about his former bride. The couple, whom Christians normally wouldn’t look to as an example to follow, demonstrate the kind of radical love and forgiveness that Jesus expects.
