Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Pre\u00ademie Lambs Suc\u00adcess\u00adful\u00adly Grown To Term In Arti\u00adfi\u00adcial Womb<\/span><\/a> (Jason Kot\u00adtke, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): what an amaz\u00ading age we live in. These arti\u00adfi\u00adcial wombs are trans\u00adpar\u00adent, so this <\/span>fif\u00adteen sec\u00adond video<\/span><\/a> of a lamb in one is def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly worth watch\u00ading.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In \u2018China\u2019s Jerusalem\u2019, \u2018anti-ter\u00adror cam\u00aderas\u2019 the new cross for church\u00ades to bear<\/span><\/a> (Alice Yan, South Chi\u00adna Morn\u00ading Post): \u201cGov\u00adern\u00adment offi\u00adcials came to the church\u00ades and put up \u00adcam\u00aderas by force. Some pas\u00adtors and wor\u00adship\u00adpers who didn\u2019t agree to the move were dragged away.\u2026 Some peo\u00adple need\u00aded to be treat\u00aded in hos\u00adpi\u00adtal after fight\u00ading the offi\u00adcials.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Rod Dreher\u2019s Monas\u00adtic Vision<\/span><\/a> (Joshua Roth\u00adman, New York\u00ader): \u201cThe most suc\u00adcess\u00adful peo\u00adple nowa\u00addays are flex\u00adi\u00adble and root\u00adless; they can live any\u00adwhere and believe any\u00adthing. Dreher thinks that liq\u00aduid moder\u00adni\u00adty is a more or less unstop\u00adpable force\u2014in part because cap\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adism and tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy are unstop\u00adpable. He urges Chris\u00adtians, there\u00adfore, to remove them\u00adselves from the cur\u00adrents of moder\u00adni\u00adty.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Cru\u00adcible of the Appli\u00adca\u00adtion Process<\/span><\/a> (Dil\u00adlon Bowen, Quil\u00adlette) \u2014 \u201cThis essay is about my expe\u00adri\u00adence with the [elite grad school] appli\u00adca\u00adtion process\u2014specifically how I was repeat\u00aded\u00adly encour\u00adaged to alter my appli\u00adca\u00adtions to con\u00adform with far-Left polit\u00adi\u00adcal ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy.\u201d Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded to me by an alum\u00adnus.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A bap\u00adtism, then a mur\u00adder con\u00adfes\u00adsion<\/span><\/a> (The Chris\u00adt\u00adian Chron\u00adi\u00adcle, Bob\u00adby Ross Jr): \u201c<\/span>Lucin\u00adda Wil\u00adson might have got\u00adten away with mur\u00adder. Except that she became a Chris\u00adt\u00adian and con\u00adfessed to her crime. Now 48, Wil\u00adson has served 20-plus years of a life sen\u00adtence for the cap\u00adi\u00adtal mur\u00adder of her ex-fianc\u00e9\u2019s girl\u00adfriend, Mar\u00adgaret Morales.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The Survivor\u2019s Guide To Adult\u00adhood<\/span><\/a> (Wyatt Hong, Yale Dai\u00adly News): \u201cMany of you will leave col\u00adlege as I did, believ\u00ading that you will change the world, but you will soon dis\u00adcov\u00ader that the truth is the reverse. The world will change you. This is not nec\u00ades\u00adsar\u00adi\u00adly a bad thing, but it can be fright\u00aden\u00ading.\u201d Rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded by a stu\u00addent as \u201ca thought\u00adful, well-writ\u00adten piece.\u201d The author is a Stan\u00adford grad in med school at Yale. <\/span><\/li>\n
  7. I learned today that the Nation\u00adal Chi Alpha Min\u00adistry Cen\u00adter is <\/span>on Pin\u00adter\u00adest<\/span><\/a>. I knew about the <\/span>Insta\u00adgram<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Twit\u00adter<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>YouTube<\/span><\/a> accounts, but some\u00adhow I nev\u00ader expect\u00aded Pin\u00adter\u00adest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why Do You Send This Email?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    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. I pray this email gives you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.<\/p>\n

    Disclaimer<\/b><\/h3>\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 the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/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 (although if I strong\u00adly dis\u00adagree with some\u00adthing in the arti\u00adcle I\u2019ll usu\u00adal\u00adly men\u00adtion it).<\/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.<\/p>\n
