As you may have heard, many financial institutions in the United States and around the world aren't doing so well. Millions of people are uncertain about whether they'll be able to keep their jobs and homes. While such uncertainty can be stressful and even depressing, as Christians we have to trust that God is in control and will guide us through these tough economic times. Next week LinC discusses how to develop a radical trust in God and how such a trust can change our lives. Key Scriptures: Genesis 3:1-13; Psalm 46; Jeremiah 38:17; Mark 4:35-41; Philippians 4:4-7. Britney Spears is back at the top of the charts with her newest single, "Womanizer." The song is about female empowerment and refusing to be exploited or preyed upon by sexually predatory men. The video for the song, however, sends a confusing and contradictory message. Next week we'll look at the Bible’s message of female empowerment and learn about strong women in Scripture.
