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, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal 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. What Would Cool Jesus Do?<\/span><\/a> (<\/span> Taffy Brodess\u00ader-Akn\u00ader<\/span>, <\/span>GQ): this is a long and amaz\u00ading piece. Jew\u00adish reporter goes to Hill\u00adsong in NYC, likes it but doesn\u2019t buy it. Fun to read and inter\u00adest\u00ading through\u00adout.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. When Abor\u00adtion Sud\u00adden\u00adly Stopped Mak\u00ading Sense<\/span><\/a> (Fred\u00ader\u00adi\u00adca Matthews-Green, Nation\u00adal Review): unusu\u00adal\u00adly insight\u00adful. Today is the 43rd anniver\u00adsary of Roe v. Wade. Vague\u00adly relat\u00aded: 43 years lat\u00ader, a look at Nor\u00adma McCor\u00advey, the Roe of Roe v. Wade, the pro-choice poster child turned abor\u00adtion oppo\u00adnent<\/a> (Keri Blakinger, NY Dai\u00adly News). The lat\u00adter arti\u00adcle is a use\u00adful reminder that peo\u00adple are com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Is \u201cSlave\u201d A Good Eng\u00adlish Trans\u00adla\u00adtion?<\/span><\/a> (Andy Nasel\u00adli, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): there is a 4 minute BBC video embed\u00added at this link which is worth watch\u00ading about the com\u00adplex\u00adi\u00adties of Bible trans\u00adla\u00adtion, fol\u00adlowed by many good links for dig\u00adging deep\u00ader.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. No Food Is Healthy. Not Even Kale.<\/span><\/a> (Michael Ruhlman, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): Peo\u00adple can be healthy. Food can be nutri\u00adtious. This is a won\u00adder\u00adful essay about how we mis\u00aduse lan\u00adguage to our detri\u00adment. If you\u2019re sur\u00adprised I includ\u00aded this, I believe that our cul\u00adture has a qua\u00adsi-reli\u00adgious rela\u00adtion\u00adship to health and to food, and I also believe that the use of lan\u00adguage is pro\u00adfound\u00adly moral and that our cul\u00adture is a lin\u00adguis\u00adtic mess (to which I know of no fin\u00ader guide than <\/span>The Under\u00adground Gram\u00admar\u00adi\u00adan<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. To The Per\u00adson Who Tried To Pray My Dis\u00adabil\u00adi\u00adty Away<\/span><\/a> (Madylin Ullmin, The Mighty): a min\u00adis\u00adter friend of mine with cere\u00adbral pal\u00adsy  shared this on Face\u00adbook. He prays for the sick and has seen mir\u00ada\u00adcles. He added this when he shared the arti\u00adcle: \u201cI have also expe\u00adri\u00adenced more than a few times in my life where a per\u00adson asked to pray for my heal\u00ading and if it did\u00adn\u2019t hap\u00adpen, they felt they had to explain to me why God did\u00adn\u2019t heal me right there and then. It got to the point where the per\u00adson pray\u00ading for me was often more dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00aded than I was , which made me won\u00adder if the per\u00adson cared about me as a per\u00adson, or were more con\u00adcerned about a cer\u00adtain result. I have no doubt almost every\u00adone means well and wants to see God heal but the way that it hap\u00adpens is some\u00adtimes jar\u00adring for a per\u00adson who needs heal\u00ading.\u201d<\/span><\/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 <\/span>the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Also, remem\u00adber that I\u2019m not report\u00ading news \u2014 I\u2019m giv\u00ading you a selec\u00adtion of things I found inter\u00adest\u00ading. There\u2019s a lot hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world that\u2019s not mak\u00ading an appear\u00adance here because I haven\u2019t found stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading arti\u00adcles writ\u00adten about it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
