In the September 4 issue, LinC reminds us that a new college football season is getting underway, and many sports analysts fear that big-time college football has lost its way. Amid recruiting scandals, coaches who are paid more than college presidents, players being expected to focus more on a big game than a big exam, and a controversial system for determining championships, critics argue that college football has put money ahead of competition, tradition, and student athletics. Key Scriptures: 1 Kings 11:1-13; Mark 11:15-19; Luke 10:38-42; Philippians 3:4a-9. In the September 11 issue, LinC points out that for the first time since the attacks of September 11, 2001, September 11 is on a Sunday. How can we glorify God while remembering tragic events of the past? How can reflecting on past events bring us closer to God?
