In the time of King David, 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). 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). May these give you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.

  1. From the par\u00adty-with-puri\u00adtans depart\u00adment: Our Puri\u00adtan Her\u00aditage<\/a> (Democ\u00adra\u00adcy, Jim Sleep\u00ader): the author, a polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence lec\u00adtur\u00ader at Yale, is not a Chris\u00adt\u00adian. I think parts of his argu\u00adment are wrong, but I found the whole thing stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading (the com\u00adments are worth read\u00ading as well). For some\u00adthing more prac\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly help\u00adful, see Puri\u00adtan Resources For Bib\u00adli\u00adcal Coun\u00adsel\u00ading<\/a> (Jour\u00adnal of Bib\u00adli\u00adcal Coun\u00adsel\u00ading, Tim Keller): good stuff about how to grow spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly.<\/li>\n
  2. From the sis\u00adter-in-Christ-doing-good depart\u00adment: Griev\u00ading Gov. Nik\u00adki Haley For\u00adev\u00ader Changed By Church Mas\u00adsacre<\/a> (Post and Couri\u00ader, Jen\u00adnifer Berry Hawes): Nik\u00adki Haley, the gov\u00ader\u00adnor of South Car\u00adoli\u00adna, is an adult con\u00advert to Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty. There\u2019s a 2012 inter\u00adview about her faith at Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. From the still-work\u00ading-to-show-the-world-that-we-are-one depart\u00adment: Dear Pas\u00adtor, Can I Come To Your Church?<\/a> (Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today, Bradley Wright): an inter\u00adest\u00ading study on implic\u00adit racial bias in wel\u00adcom\u00ading new\u00adcom\u00aders to church. It may be behind a pay\u00adwall \u2014 I was able to access the whole thing but some\u00adone else told me they only got a snip\u00adpet. The author, a soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgist at U Conn, gives ref\u00ader\u00adences on his web\u00adsite<\/a> (the Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today arti\u00adcle is a pop\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adiza\u00adtion of a forth\u00adcom\u00ading aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic arti\u00adcle).<\/li>\n
  4. From the it-sounds-clever-the-first-time-you-hear-it-depart\u00adment: Why Pri\u00adva\u00adtiz\u00ading Mar\u00adriage Would Be A Dis\u00adas\u00adter<\/a> (The Week, Shikha Dalmia): I\u2019ve heard some Chris\u00adtians sug\u00adgest that we erect a wall of sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion between mar\u00adriage and state. This arti\u00adcle sug\u00adgests that is a fool\u00adish idea. For a Chris\u00adt\u00adian take (the author of the pre\u00advi\u00adous arti\u00adcle is agnos\u00adtic) that comes to sim\u00adi\u00adlar con\u00adclu\u00adsion, read Dou\u00adglas Wilson\u2019s In Which First Things Does Some Fourth Things<\/a> (Doug Wil\u00adson is a fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading and polar\u00adiz\u00ading fig\u00adure: read The Con\u00adtro\u00adver\u00adsial\u00adist<\/a> from Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today to learn more about him).<\/li>\n

From the mak\u00ading-a-dif\u00adfer\u00adence-is-hard depart\u00adment: The Myth of the Eth\u00adi\u00adcal Shop\u00adper<\/a> (Huff\u00adin\u00adg\u00adton Post, Michael Hobbes): I post\u00aded a sim\u00adi\u00adlar piece a few weeks ago. You have less con\u00adtrol as a con\u00adsumer than you think because com\u00adpa\u00adnies have less con\u00adtrol than you think.<\/li>\n
  6. From the in-our-back\u00adyard depart\u00adment: Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty in Sil\u00adi\u00adcon Val\u00adley<\/a> (Lead\u00ader\u00adship Jour\u00adnal, Daniel Dar\u00adling): an inter\u00adview with the author of a forth\u00adcom\u00ading book about Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty in Sil\u00adi\u00adcon Val\u00adley. The book looks inter\u00adest\u00ading. The author blogs at http:\/\/findinggodinsiliconvalley.com\/<\/a><\/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 we 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 may 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":"
