In the March 13th issue, LinC looks at the ongoing trial of former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers. For many, the trial brings one word to mind: greed. While it is easy to point fingers at “greedy” millionaires and corporate criminals, most of us are guilty of greed—even if we don’t realize it. What’s worse is that our greed weakens our relationship with God. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 12:1-10; 1 Kings 21:1-16; Luke 12:13-31; Colossians 3:1-10; 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19. In the March 20th issue, LinC explores the recent illness and suffering of Pope John Paul II and whether it has led some to ask whether he is still fit to do the job. As a culture, we expect our leaders to be strong and healthy, not sick and frail. But with Holy Week approaching, we remember how our greatest leader ever, Jesus Christ, led by suffering, even to the point of dying on a cross.
