The WikiLeaks scandal has been arguably the biggest news story of the past month. Defenders of the WikiLeaks website, which publishes classified documents that have been leaked by anonymous sources, claim that the site operates in the interest of free speech and transparency. Critics worry that, by revealing sensitive government and military secrets, WikiLeaks is damaging relationships between nations and putting people's lives at risk. This scandal is a reminder that truth can be powerful and dangerous. This week we'll look at how the truth of Jesus' birth affected those who heard it and discuss how to speak radical truth responsibly. Key Scriptures: John 3:1-17; 4:4-23; 13:33-38. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Next Sunday is the first Sunday in 2011, and LinC will celebrate by helping you set some spiritual resolutions. Of course, New Year's resolutions are notorious for not lasting and being completely forgotten by the end of February. So next week we'll also look at ways that we can stay focused on our spiritual resolutions, and we'll examine what Scripture says about committing ourselves to growing in faith.
