In the April 23 issue, LinC takes a look at Pink's popular new song, "Stupid Girls." The song pokes fun at types of girls the artist doesn't like, but it also has an important message about how women are exploited by popular culture. How do demeaning media portrayals of women have a negative effect on teenage girls and boys and conflict with our belief that the human body is "God's temple"? How can teens reject our culture's exploitation of women and learn to see the human body through God's eyes. Key Scriptures: Song of Solomon 5:10 to 6:10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; James 4:1-10. In the April 30 issue, LinC explores concerns about Internet predators. MySpace, a popular website, has taken new measures to ensure the safety of its users. While many young people today enjoy spending time in online communities, we all need to be aware of the security risks and committed to maintaining our spiritual integrity when interacting with others on the web.
