In the August 27 issue, LinC looks at back-to-school fashion. Our clothing can reflect our tastes, interests, values, and income level. But in God’s eyes, our physical clothing isn’t nearly important as our spiritual garments: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience (Colossians 3:12). How exactly do we put on these spiritual clothes? Key Scriptures: Genesis 37:3-11; 2 Corinthians 5:16-17; Colossians 3:12-17. In the September 3 issue, LinC takes a look at the hit movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Ricky’s dinnertime prayer to “Lord baby Jesus” sparks a mid-grace discussion about how the the characters picture Christ. What images and names do we use for Jesus? What roles did he play on earth, and how is he present with us every day?
