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

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

    \n
  1. Read\u00ading The Whole Bible in 2016: A FAQ<\/a> (Gospel Coali\u00adtion, Justin Tay\u00adlor): How much time each day would it take you to read the entire Bible in a year? \u201cThere are about 775,000 words in the Bible. Divid\u00aded by 365, that\u2019s 2,123 words a day. The aver\u00adage per\u00adson reads 200 to 250 words per minute. So 2,123 words\/day divid\u00aded by 225 words\/minute equals 9.4 min\u00adutes a day.\u201d This arti\u00adcle is full of good advice for what could be the best com\u00admit\u00adment you make all year. Do it!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. I\u2019m Think\u00ading It Over<\/span><\/a> (The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive, Alan Jacobs): this is real\u00adly good advice for social media. Bonus: it name-drops a leg\u00adendary Stan\u00adford pro\u00adfes\u00adsor. Read\u00ading this arti\u00adcle made me feel good about not send\u00ading this email out over Christ\u00admas break.  \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Can You Glo\u00adri\u00adfy God As An Econ\u00ado\u00admist?<\/span><\/a> (Chris\u00adt\u00adian Post, Napp Naz\u00adworth): tl;dr yes. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Across The Race Divide<\/span><\/a> (Gospel Coali\u00adtion, Kevin DeY\u00adoung) \u2014 some\u00adwhat long but worth\u00adwhile. Dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to excerpt in a way that won\u2019t tempt you pigeon\u00adhole the piece.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Can Hob\u00adby Lob\u00adby Buy The Bible?<\/span><\/a> (The Atlantic, <\/span>Joel Baden and <\/span>Can\u00addi\u00adda Moss<\/span>): the fram\u00ading is alarmist, some of the claims about tex\u00adtu\u00adal crit\u00adi\u00adcism are dubi\u00adous, but the arti\u00adcle is quite engag\u00ading. The alle\u00adga\u00adtions of arti\u00adfact smug\u00adgling seem most\u00adly the byprod\u00aduct of naivete to me and I hope they prove to be so. The authors are pro\u00adfes\u00adsors at Yale and Notre Dame.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Quixot\u00adic Adven\u00adtures of Roy Moore<\/span><\/a> (The Atlantic, Matt Ford) \u2014 I was most inter\u00adest\u00aded by the begin\u00adning of the fifth para\u00adgrap<\/span>h: \u201cWhile that may be tech\u00adni\u00adcal\u00adly cor\u00adrect\u2026\u201d  Heh. <\/span>I think the best jour\u00adnal\u00adism on this was actu\u00adal\u00adly done by The Mont\u00adgomery Adver\u00adtis\u00ader. It blew away the NY Times, NPR, etc by actu\u00adal\u00adly inter\u00adview\u00ading peo\u00adple with dif\u00adfer\u00ading opin\u00adions. If you want the sto\u00adry, read <\/span>Moore Tar\u00adgets Same-Sex Mar\u00adriage<\/span><\/a> (Bri\u00adan Lyman, Mont\u00adgomery Adver\u00adtis\u00ader).<\/span><\/li>\n
