In the July 3 issue, LinC explores the topic of second chances. Bands that your parents might be embarrassed to admit that they listened to in the eighties are getting another shot, thanks to the popular new show Hit Me Baby One More Time. Christians know all about getting another chance—not because of reality television—but because of God’s grace. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 12:7-14; 1 Chronicles 21:1-17; Luke 17:3-4; John 13:38; 18:15-18, 25-27; 21:15-17; Romans 3:9-12; 5:6-8. In the July 10 issue, LinC takes a look at one of the most anticipated films of the summer: Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel War of the Worlds. In the story, an alien invasion shocks the world and sends many people into a panic. Aliens aside, we all have experiences that leave us anxious, afraid, or panicked. The assurance of God’s presence will help us keep our composure and our faith during these difficult times.
