This edition is coming out early in the morning because I\u2019m about to hop on a plane to preach at a retreat in Virginia. Your prayers for fruitful ministry are appreciated!<\/p>\n

Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Red Tape: China Wants To Constrict Christian Activities With 26 New Rules<\/span><\/a> (Sarah Zylstra, Christianity Today): there are interesting parallels between the way Stanford regulates students and how states such as China and Russia regulate their citizens. #seriouslytho<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. How Christianity Flourishes<\/a> (Jared Wilson, Gospel Coalition): \u201cI cannot find anywhere in the New Testament where it teaches Christians how to be a majority presence in the world.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3.  Jonah Goldberg On Why He Won\u2019t Vote For Hilary or Trump<\/a> (Seth Stevenson, Slate): the Solzhenitsyn quote alone makes the article worthwhile.<\/li>\n
  4. Why Believing In Miracles Could Be Hazardous To Your Health<\/a> (David Briggs, Washington Post): if you think medicine and faith are opposed to each other, you have bad theology. Matthew 9:12 seems relevant.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t Take A Test On A Hot, Polluted Day<\/span><\/a> (Alex Tabbarok, Marginal Revolution): \u201c<\/span>I find both of these results hard to believe which doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that they shouldn\u2019t be believed.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Is globalization bad for the global poor? This study ran an experiment to find out.<\/a> (Vox): \u201cSomething as complicated as globalization is never going to be just good or just bad. We need to divide the good and the bad, and figure out how to address the latter without eliminating the former.\u201d<\/li>\n
  7. Undoing Insularity: A Small Study of Gender Sociology\u2019s Big Problem<\/a> (Charlotta Stern, Econ Journal Watch): \u201cgender sociology insulates its sacred beliefs from ideas that challenge those beliefs, even when the challenging ideas are very well-grounded. The sacred beliefs are to the effect that the biological differences between the sexes are minor and that the cultural differences between (or among) the genders are the result of social processes and have little basis in biological differences.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
