In the time of King David, the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u00e2\u20ac\u0153who under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve 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.

  1. C.S. Lewis Was A Secret Gov\u00adern\u00adment Agent<\/span><\/a> (Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today, Har\u00adry Lee Poe): It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not as excit\u00ading as the title sounds, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still cool. C.S. Lewis did some work for MI6. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the same agency as James Bond. \u00c2 JAMES BOND.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Why I wor\u00adry exper\u00adi\u00admen\u00adtal social sci\u00adence is head\u00aded in the wrong direc\u00adtion<\/span><\/a> (Chris Blattman, per\u00adson\u00adal blog). This is an excel\u00adlent piece by a polit\u00adi\u00adcal sci\u00adence pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Colum\u00adbia.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Utah Reduced Chron\u00adic Home\u00adless\u00adness By 91 Per\u00adcent. Here\u2019s How.<\/span><\/a> (NPR, Kel\u00adly McEv\u00aders). Props to the Mor\u00admons. It reminds me of an old piece by Mal\u00adcolm Glad\u00adwell: Mil\u00adlion Dol\u00adlar Mur\u00adray<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Phil\u00adan\u00adthropy Should Be Con\u00adtro\u00adver\u00adsial<\/span><\/a> (Bloomberg View, Justin Fox): Fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading through\u00adout \u2014 the last two para\u00adgraphs were quite sur\u00adpris\u00ading to me.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. John Ker\u00adry Should Rec\u00adog\u00adnize Chris\u00adt\u00adian Geno\u00adcide<\/span><\/a> (USA Today, Kirsten Pow\u00aders): I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve post\u00aded about this before and will like\u00adly keep doing so. The sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion is insane.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Why Chris\u00adtians Must Speak Out Against Don\u00adald Trump\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mus\u00adlim Remarks<\/span><\/a> (Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post, Rus\u00adsell Moore).

For reli\u00adgious peo\u00adple, that means a call to pray for them, and to encour\u00adage oth\u00aders of like mind to do so\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. When that becomes just anoth\u00ader cul\u00adture war bat\u00adtle\u00adfield, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost more than a set of pol\u00adi\u00adcy pro\u00adpos\u00adals. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost the social cohe\u00adsion we need to do anything.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/li>\n
