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.<\/span><\/p>\n

To that end, on Fri\u00addays 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. Past emails are archived at <\/span>http:\/\/glenandpaula.com\/wordpress\/category\/links<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of heavy con\u00adtent in this one. Buck\u00adle your seat\u00adbelt. With\u00adout fur\u00adther ado, I give you the inter\u00adest\u00ading things:<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Alco\u00adhol, Black\u00adouts, and Cam\u00adpus Sex\u00adu\u00adal Assault<\/span><\/a> (Texas Month\u00adly, Sarah Hep\u00ado\u00adla): I think this is the most thought\u00adful sec\u00adu\u00adlar piece I\u2019ve read on the issue. <\/span>\u201cCon\u00adsent and alco\u00adhol make tricky bed\u00adfel\u00adlows. The rea\u00adson I liked get\u00adting drunk was because it altered my con\u00adsent: it changed what I would say yes to. Not just in the bed\u00adroom but in every room and cor\u00adri\u00addor that led into the squint\u00ading light. Say yes to adven\u00adture, say yes to risk, say yes to karaoke and pool par\u00adties and argu\u00adments with men, say yes to a life with\u00adout fear, even though such a life is nev\u00ader pos\u00adsi\u00adble\u2026 We drink because it feels good. We drink because it makes us feel hap\u00adpy, safe, pow\u00ader\u00adful. That it often makes us the oppo\u00adsite is one of alcohol\u2019s das\u00adtard\u00adly tricks.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Fatal Flaws In That Reli\u00adgion And Gen\u00aderos\u00adi\u00adty Study<\/span><\/a> (The Stream, George Yancey). Yancey is a soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy prof. Relat\u00aded: <\/span>Are Reli\u00adgious Kids Real\u00adly Mean\u00ader Than Their Coun\u00adter\u00adparts?<\/span><\/a> by a social psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgist.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Now for a ton of links relat\u00aded to the racial inci\u00addents and respons\u00ades at Yale and Miz\u00adzou (which seem dif\u00adfer\u00adent to me but which hap\u00adpened in such close prox\u00adim\u00adi\u00adty that they are linked in the nation\u00adal dia\u00adlog).<\/span>\n
