In the October 9 issue, LinC takes a look at Tim Burton’s new movie Corpse Bride. It may seem creepy on the surface, but the film is about more than just marrying dead people. It raises questions about issues that all young people struggle with: authority, independence, and freedom. We all like to make our own decisions, but submitting to Christ’s authority truly frees us to live the good life. Key Scriptures: Daniel 5; John 2:1-11; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; 1 John 1:9. In the October 16 issue, LinC reminds us that according to the stories of Jesus and his earliest followers, healing is one of the church’s most important ministries. And Christian healing isn’t limited to inexplicable cures to physical ailments performed by a few “men of God.” Rather, all Christians are called to heal one another in many different ways.
