It's October and retailers have replaced back-to-school displays with Halloween costumes and decorations. Regardless of whether you'll be shopping this month for the perfect Halloween disguise, you probably already have some masks or costumes. Maybe you dress a certain way to fit in; maybe you keep quiet about a special interest because you're afraid of other’s reactions. We all are guilty of disguising our true identities in some way. LinC helps us learn to take off our masks and live as the unique people God created us to be. Key Scriptures: Genesis 27; Daniel 1; Psalm 139; Matthew 6:25-34. Can you keep a secret? In NBC's new drama The Event, authorities are keeping a big secret involving members of a superhuman species who are being held in a detention center in Alaska. Whether and how this secret will be revealed is one of the show's interwoven plot lines. Most of us have some experience with secrets. Keeping secrets is one way we gain our friends' trust. But are there some secrets that shouldn't be kept? Next week LinC looks at how we deal with secrets involving abuse or dangerous behavior and how Scripture can help us with these secrets.
