In the December 26 issue, LinC takes a look at a new movie release. We are all expected to be merry during the holiday season. But for some, Christmastime brings overwhelming stress; for others, depression. The new movie, A Series of Unfortunate Events, reminds us that life is not a story book and that things can go wrong even when we expect everything to be perfect. The Bible reminds us that God is with us no matter what. Key Scriptures: Daniel 3:13-25; Matthew 1:1-17; Acts 7:54-60; and Hebrews 2:10-18. In the January 2 issue, LinC reminds us that many new year’s resolutions made on January 1 have been abandoned by February 1. As Christians, we are called to make more lasting commitments to spiritual growth. What can we resolve to do to deliberately grow in Christ?
