In the November 26 issue, LinC explores ways to keep our holiday celebrations fresh. The upcoming movie Deja Vu involves characters who re-live certain experiences. Many of us take a similar “been there, done that” approach to the holidays. Celebrating Christ’s coming this year won’t be any different than it was last year. But our Christmas celebrations can be relevant instead of rote, substantial instead of superficial. Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 12:23: Jeremiah 7:1-15; Matthew 23:25-28; Luke 19:1-10; Ephesians 6:18-20. In the December 3 issue, LinC reminds us that the Advent and Christmas seasons should be joyous as well as meaningful. Unfortunately, many people are haunted by depression and anxiety during the holidays and are unable to experience the joy of God's blessings. How can you claim the joy of Christ's coming and pass on that joy to others?
