In the time of King David, the Bible says that the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d (1 Chron 12:32).<\/p>\n
In a sim\u00adi\u00adlar way, we need to become wise peo\u00adple whose faith inter\u00adacts with the world.<\/p>\n
To that end, I share articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal and soci\u00adetal issues (be sure to see the dis\u00adclaimer at the bot\u00adtom). I\u2019m think\u00ading I\u2019ll send these rough\u00adly once a week. May these give you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.<\/p>\n
From the depress\u00ading depart\u00adment: Hot Girls Want\u00aded (Ken\u00adneth More\u00adfield, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today)<\/a>: a sober\u00ading review of a Net\u00adflix doc\u00adu\u00admen\u00adtary (from Sun\u00addance) about the \u201cama\u00adteur\u201d porn indus\u00adtry. Read it if you have a hard time explain\u00ading why pornog\u00adra\u00adphy is a bad thing. Pre\u00adpare to be bummed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n From the faith and pol\u00adi\u00adtics depart\u00adment: Is Oba\u00adma Real\u00adly a Chris\u00adt\u00adian? (David French, Nation\u00adal Review)<\/a>: this is the most detailed arti\u00adcle I have read about Pres\u00adi\u00addent Obama\u2019s faith.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n From the high\u00ader edu\u00adca\u00adtion depart\u00adment: I\u2019m a Lib\u00ader\u00adal Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor, and My Lib\u00ader\u00adal Stu\u00addents Ter\u00adri\u00adfy Me (Edward Schloss\u00ader, Vox)<\/a>: the arti\u00adcle is bet\u00adter than you might expect from the click\u00adbait title. It\u2019s a cri\u00adtique of the cur\u00adrent prac\u00adtice of iden\u00adti\u00adty pol\u00adi\u00adtics at Amer\u00adi\u00adcan uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties by some\u00adone sym\u00adpa\u00adthet\u00adic to iden\u00adti\u00adty pol\u00adi\u00adtics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n From the learn\u00ading to think clear\u00adly depart\u00adment: The Land of We All (Richard Mitchell, The Gift of Fire)<\/a>: this essay teas\u00ades out the impli\u00adca\u00adtions of this insight: \u201cThink\u00ading can not be done cor\u00adpo\u00adrate\u00adly. Nations and com\u00admit\u00adtees can\u2019t think. That is not only because they have no brains, but because they have no selves, no cen\u00adters, no souls, if you like. Mil\u00adlions and mil\u00adlions of per\u00adsons may hold the same thought, or con\u00advic\u00adtion or sus\u00adpi\u00adcion, but each and every per\u00adson of those mil\u00adlions must hold it all alone.\u201d Warn\u00ading: the for\u00admat\u00adting is hor\u00adrid. It is worth read\u00ading any\u00adway. Either use the Read\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty book\u00admarklet<\/a>, an app like Pock\u00adet<\/a>, or just cut and paste it into a text doc\u00adu\u00adment on your com\u00adput\u00ader.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Chi Alpha is not a par\u00adti\u00adsan orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. To para\u00adphrase anoth\u00ader min\u00adis\u00adter: we are not about the donkey\u2019s agen\u00adda and are not about the elephant\u2019s agen\u00adda \u2014 we are about the Lamb\u2019s agen\u00adda. Hav\u00ading said that, I read wide\u00adly (in part because I believe we should aspire to pass the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/a> and in part because I do not believe I can fair\u00adly say \u201cI agree\u201d or \u201cI dis\u00adagree\u201d until I can say \u201cI under\u00adstand\u201d) and will at times share arti\u00adcles that have a strong par\u00adti\u00adsan bias sim\u00adply because I find the arti\u00adcle stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading. The upshot: you should not assume I agree with every\u00adthing an author says in an arti\u00adcle I men\u00adtion, much less things the author has said in oth\u00ader arti\u00adcles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the time of King David, the Bible says that the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d (1 Chron 12:32).
