Wise and Scrupulous

So says The Economist about the New York Times Bestseller:

Our young people are being placated in place instead of nurtured into adulthood.

I recommend you read this book. The authors wrote an afterword in the summer of 2021 to be added to the second addition but it grew so long that the publishers balked at the cost of adding it to the second addition.

So….

You can find it on-line here. Take the time. It’s worth it.

Afterword Contents.

It has been a tough three years — for universities, for many Western democracies, and for humanity — as we all adapted to a pandemic, an economic crisis, and political turbulence. Our goal in this afterword is to share with you nine things we have learned in the last three years so that you can better understand and respond to the trends that may already be affecting your family, school, workplace, and country.

The afterword has nine sections:

  1. Gen Z’s Mental Health Continues to Deteriorate
  2. It’s Social Media—More Than Screen Time—That Matters For Mental Health
  3. Increasing Persecution on Campus
  4. The Polarization Spiral and the Great Awokening
  5. International Coddling
  6. Corporate Coddling
  7. The Role of Ed Schools
  8. K-12 and the Battle Over Antiracism 3.0
  9. Conclusion: Eternal Wisdom

‘We’ve Lived The Sexy Life God Created Sex For’

So says Peter J. Leithart.

My wife and I have given the world an attorney, a couple of teachers, more than one writer, a game designer, a musician and a couple of filmmakers, an executive assistant who runs a nonprofit, a social worker, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, boys and girls with plans and aspirations that will come to fruition long after my wife and I are gone. Lord willing, Leitharts will keep proliferating for a thousand generations. 

This is what the Bible means by “blessing,” and it all began with my wife and me keeping our promise to be “only for you.”

We’ve lived the sexy life God created sex for.

A beautiful account of what sex is for. Read “Our Sexy Life

I’m a Classic Christian and think Gender Ideology is anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about Gender Ideology. And “speaking up” as I’m confident Jesus would.

"Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'" [Matt 19:4]

If you would like more detail on how my Christian worldview informs my understanding of Sex and today’s Gender Ideology please read the following posts.
