This is the cover of the issue we will discuss tomorrow. The cover story, "The Year Ahead," begins on p. 33. For those who may feel (and they seem to be legion) that the status quo in our world is just fine, it won't be easy reading. For those of us who hate sin and love the truth, you will find lots to pray about.
On your way to the cover story, take a quick gander at Joel Belz's editorial on p.3. In our last class we discussed Belz's social experiment, in which he interviewed WalMart shoppers, at some length. For those who missed it, Belz's conclusion was that the response of the "average American" to the question "What message would you like to send to Washington?" ranged from avoidance to shallow vulgarity. Belz's editorial in this issue concerns a reader response to this experiment that I would never have anticipated. Check it out.
