On Fri\u00addays I share 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 expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. The Grounds Of Our Assur\u00adance<\/span><\/a> (D. A. Car\u00adson, YouTube): Dr. Car\u00adson is one of my favorite schol\u00adars. This youtube clip is def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly worth three min\u00adutes of your time.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Hal\u00adlelu\u00adjah Col\u00adlege<\/span><\/a> (Mol\u00adly Worthen, NY Times): \u201c<\/span>The thing you\u2019ll run into with any of the cam\u00adpus activists that I\u2019ve encoun\u00adtered is this idea that human nature is a col\u00adlec\u00adtion of iden\u00adti\u00adty cat\u00ade\u00adgories, that I as a human being am com\u00adposed of a gen\u00adder iden\u00adti\u00adty, a sex\u00adu\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty, a racial iden\u00adti\u00adty and so forth,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir per\u00adcep\u00adtion of Chris\u00adtians, or of reli\u00adgious peo\u00adple more gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly, is: \u2018O.K., these are peo\u00adple who have this one iden\u00adti\u00adty cat\u00ade\u00adgo\u00adry, reli\u00adgion, and the reli\u00adgion they iden\u00adti\u00adfy as is over\u00adstep\u00adping its bounds. It\u2019s telling my gen\u00adder or sex\u00adu\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty how to act.\u2019 The Chris\u00adt\u00adian response has to be: There\u2019s some\u00adthing more to what a human being is than just these col\u00adlec\u00adtive attrib\u00adut\u00ades.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pas\u00adtor Of China\u2019s Largest Church Jailed For Protest\u00ading Removal of 1,500 Cross\u00ades<\/span><\/a> (Mor\u00adgan Lee, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today). Note that he is the pas\u00adtor of China\u2019s largest offi\u00adcial church \u2014 there are under\u00adground church\u00ades that are much larg\u00ader. The Com\u00admu\u00adnist Par\u00adty must be get\u00adting ner\u00advous about the strength of Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty in Chi\u00adna if they are oppress\u00ading the state-sanc\u00adtioned church as well. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Chris\u00adtians In Latin Amer\u00adi\u00adca Are Numer\u00adous But Still Vul\u00adner\u00ada\u00adble<\/span><\/a> (John Allen, Crux): a very strong arti\u00adcle about Chris\u00adt\u00adian per\u00adse\u00adcu\u00adtion in the west\u00adern hemi\u00adsphere. \u201cChili\u00adto was exe\u00adcut\u00aded by a right-wing para\u00admil\u00adi\u00adtary and Castil\u00adla by a left-wing guer\u00adril\u00adla group, prov\u00ading that mar\u00adtyr\u00addom in Colom\u00adbia is an equal-oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty enter\u00adprise. Glob\u00adal\u00adly, the two women are chap\u00adters in one of the most wide\u00adspread human rights scourges of the ear\u00adly 21st cen\u00adtu\u00adry, which is lethal anti-Chris\u00adt\u00adian per\u00adse\u00adcu\u00adtion. Though esti\u00admates vary wide\u00adly, even low-end counts sug\u00adgest that one Chris\u00adt\u00adian is killed for motives relat\u00aded to the faith some\u00adwhere in the world every hour of every day.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Main\u00adstream\u00ading \u201cAni\u00admal Per\u00adson\u00adhood\u201d<\/span><\/a> (Wes\u00adley J. Smith, First Things): this is some\u00adthing you should do some think\u00ading about. Start by reflect\u00ading on Gen\u00ade\u00adsis 1:26\u201330, Gen\u00ade\u00adsis 9:1\u20136, Num\u00adbers 22:21\u201334, Proverbs 12:10, Jon\u00adah 4:10\u201311, and Matthew 6:26.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Mey\u00ader vs Nebras\u00adka: As Told By The Lawyer Who Won It<\/span><\/a> (David Kopel, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): this sto\u00adry of a 1922 Supreme Court deci\u00adsion absolute\u00adly sucked me in. It touch\u00ades on issues of parental rights, pub\u00adlic edu\u00adca\u00adtion, reli\u00adgious lib\u00ader\u00adty, and nation\u00adal\u00adis\u00adtic prej\u00adu\u00addice.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. 3 Ways To Work For The Glo\u00adry of God<\/span><\/a> (Chris\u00adtos Makridis, The Rebe\u00adlu\u00adtion). Yes, this is writ\u00adten by our very own Chris\u00adtos. Good thoughts, Chris\u00adtos!<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Some comics that amused me:<\/span>\n
