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, on week\u00adends (usu\u00adal\u00adly Fri\u00addays but last night we had alum\u00adni over for home\u00adcom\u00ading and it turned into a five hour par\u00adty, so this time Sat\u00adur\u00adday) I\u2019ve been shar\u00ading 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.

With\u00adout fur\u00adther ado, I give you the inter\u00adest\u00ading things:<\/p>\n

  1. Mus\u00adlim Migrants, Meet Chris\u00adt\u00adian Gyp\u00adsies<\/a> (Jil\u00adlian Mel\u00adchior, Wall Street Jour\u00adnal): this is pret\u00adty beau\u00adti\u00adful.<\/li>\n
  2. Moral Respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty and Emo\u00adtion\u00adal Rejec\u00adtion of God<\/a> (William Lane Craig): Craig, who we host\u00aded on cam\u00adpus years ago, answers a tough ques\u00adtion. I think it\u2019s amus\u00ading how often he directs the read\u00ader to anoth\u00ader one of his books, but I don\u2019t guess he had an alter\u00adna\u00adtive if he want\u00aded to keep his answer short enough to be read\u00adable.<\/li>\n
  3. Hook\u00ading Up Is Easy To Do<\/a> (Katie Van Syck\u00adle, NY Mag):  \u201cI\u2019ve come back to my alma mater because it sits at the cross\u00adroads of two major themes of mod\u00adern-day col\u00adlege sex: hookup cul\u00adture, which seems as ram\u00adpant as I remem\u00adber it, and sex\u00adu\u00adal assault\u2026 Late\u00adly, researchers have been mak\u00ading an obvi\u00adous but con\u00adtro\u00adver\u00adsial point: that these two trend lines are in fact relat\u00aded \u2014 that hook\u00ading up puts stu\u00addents at high\u00ader risk of hav\u00ading non\u00adcon\u00adsen\u00adsu\u00adal sex, and that there are ele\u00adments of this cul\u00adture\u2026 that are more com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded than \u2018yes means yes.\u2019\u201d\n
