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 Weight of Glo\u00adry<\/span><\/a> (C.S. Lewis): this is a PDF of the 9 pages of thought\u00adful good\u00adness I ref\u00ader\u00adenced in my ser\u00admon this week. It was orig\u00adi\u00adnal\u00adly preached as a ser\u00admon and then print\u00aded in a the\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy mag\u00ada\u00adzine. Relat\u00aded: see the <\/span>C. S. Lewis Doo\u00addle YouTube chan\u00adnel<\/span><\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s real\u00adly good!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Leave Chi\u00adna, Study In Amer\u00adi\u00adca, Find Jesus<\/span><\/a> (Han Zhang, For\u00adeign Pol\u00adi\u00adcy) \u2014 \u201cU.S. uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adties are the first places that hun\u00addreds of thou\u00adsands of edu\u00adcat\u00aded young Chi\u00adnese are exposed to dif\u00adfer\u00adent reli\u00adgious ideas, and invit\u00aded to con\u00adsid\u00ader them freely. Sens\u00ading an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty, on-cam\u00adpus Chris\u00adt\u00adian fel\u00adlow\u00adships and church\u00ades have gone out of their col\u00adlec\u00adtive way to help those fresh from Chi\u00adna.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Uncov\u00ader\u00ading the Assem\u00adblies of God\u2019s Black Her\u00aditage<\/span><\/a> (Dar\u00adrin Rodgers, Vital Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): the Assem\u00adblies of God is Chi Alpha\u2019s spon\u00adsor\u00ading denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and the group with which I am ordained. Some neat anec\u00addotes here.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Why Nepal Has One of the World\u2019s Fastest Grow\u00ading Chris\u00adt\u00adian Pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions<\/span><\/a> (Danielle Preiss, NPR): <\/span>my favorite bit, \u201ca team were also in Nepal in Octo\u00adber help\u00ading rebuild the earth\u00adquake-dam\u00adaged house that belongs to the fam\u00adi\u00adly of Sum\u00adi\u00adtra Pari\u00adyar, a young woman who believes she was healed from paral\u00ady\u00adsis and seizures by her accep\u00adtance of Christ.\u201d I find the choice of words fun\u00adny: she \u201cbelieves\u201d she was healed from paral\u00ady\u00adsis by Christ. I\u2019m pret\u00adty sure she knows whether she was par\u00ada\u00adlyzed or not. How about \u201ca young woman who says she was healed from paral\u00ady\u00adsis and seizures by her accep\u00adtance of Christ.\u201d That\u2019s just bet\u00adter jour\u00adnal\u00adism.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Reli\u00adgious Free\u00addom Keeps Us Strong<\/span><\/a> (Barack Oba\u00adma, Reli\u00adgion News Ser\u00advice): yes, this is by Pres\u00adi\u00addent Oba\u00adma. The thing I am most pleased about is his use of the phrase \u201cfree\u00addom of reli\u00adgion\u201d as opposed to the much less expan\u00adsive \u201cfree\u00addom of wor\u00adship.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. What A Super Bowl Ad Reveals About Our Abor\u00adtion Cul\u00adture<\/span><\/a> (Rus\u00adsell Moore, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): this went in a dif\u00adfer\u00adent direc\u00adtion than I assumed it would. Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Some humor:<\/span>\n
