  1. How Can I Learn To Receive \u2014 And Give \u2014 Crit\u00adi\u00adcism In Light Of The Cross?<\/span><\/a> (Justin Tay\u00adlor, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201c<\/span>A believ\u00ader is one who iden\u00adti\u00adfies with all that God affirms and con\u00addemns in Christ\u2019s cru\u00adci\u00adfix\u00adion. In oth\u00ader words, in Christ\u2019s cross I agree with God\u2019s <\/span>judg\u00adment<\/span><\/i> of me; and in Christ\u2019s cross I agree with God\u2019s <\/span>jus\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion<\/span><\/i> of me. Both have a rad\u00adi\u00adcal impact on how we take and give crit\u00adi\u00adcism.\u201d This is based on a <\/span>longer arti\u00adcle<\/span><\/a> (4 page PDF).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Watch\u00admen<\/span><\/a> (Alan Jacobs, Harpers): this essay takes a while to get going, but once it does it is quite good. And this response piece by Jake Meador is even bet\u00adter: <\/span>Fran\u00adcis Scha\u00adef\u00adfer and Chris\u00adt\u00adian Intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adism<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Report: Aver\u00adage Christian\u2019s Strat\u00ade\u00adgy To Fight Sin Com\u00adprised Of Binge-Watch\u00ading Net\u00adflix Shows<\/a> (Baby\u00adlon Bee): Baby\u00adlon Bee is, of course, humor. This one was so real I decid\u00aded to put it under the news sec\u00adtion. On a relat\u00aded note, see America\u2019s Lost Boys<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. The End of the Lib\u00ader\u00adal Tra\u00addi\u00adtion?<\/span><\/a> (Mark L. Movs\u00adesian, <\/span>First Things) and <\/span>Trump\u2019s Good Polit\u00adi\u00adcal Tim\u00ading: Younger Amer\u00adi\u00adcans Are Shun\u00adning Democ\u00adra\u00adcy<\/span><\/a> (Cather\u00adine Ramp\u00adbell, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Pos<\/span>t): this is, frankly, ter\u00adri\u00adfy\u00ading. Prob\u00ada\u00adbly also an inevitable con\u00adse\u00adquence of our cul\u00adture aban\u00addon\u00ading the Chris\u00adt\u00adian belief in deprav\u00adi\u00adty.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. What The Hell Is Wrong With The Nation\u00adal Media?<\/span><\/a> (Rod Dreher, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive): I was in Louisiana when the rains came. It was shock\u00ading how much water fell in a short time. The scope of the dis\u00adas\u00adter is stag\u00adger\u00ading, and it is sur\u00adpris\u00ading that it took media orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions so long to notice it. Sean Illing at Salon has a sim\u00adi\u00adlar arti\u00adcle up: <\/span>Louisiana\u2019s Qui\u00adet Cri\u00adsis: Cable News and the Fol\u00adly of Dis\u00adas\u00adter Porn Cov\u00ader\u00adage<\/span><\/a>. Arti\u00adcles like this are begin\u00adning to mul\u00adti\u00adply, but atten\u00adtion is still scant (although it seems to be slow\u00adly turn\u00ading around). For an even salti\u00ader read, con\u00adsid\u00ader Dreher\u2019s <\/span>more recent col\u00adumn<\/span><\/a>. I include these links in part because they are a use\u00adful reminder that what appears in the media is not what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading, but rather what media per\u00adson\u00adnel are (a) aware is hap\u00adpen\u00ading and (b) deem impor\u00adtant.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Pros\u00adti\u00adtu\u00adtion Is Not Sex Work<\/span><\/a> (Kat Ban\u00adyard, Aeon): \u201cMen who pay for sex are not help\u00adless\u00adly react\u00ading to uncon\u00adtain\u00adable sex\u00adu\u00adal urges. Nor does the pros\u00adti\u00adtu\u00adtion trade rep\u00adre\u00adsent \u2018a place of last resort\u2019 for them. A study of 6,000 UK men by Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty Col\u00adlege Lon\u00addon in 2014 revealed that those most like\u00adly to have paid for sex were young pro\u00adfes\u00adsion\u00adals with high num\u00adbers of sex\u00adu\u00adal part\u00adners.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. In defense of Rud\u00adyard Kipling and \u2018The Jun\u00adgle Books\u2019<\/a> (Michael Dir\u00adda, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): this is a good piece.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
