WHEN CULTURES CRUMBLE

A listener wrote in to ask what I mean when I say, "Christians must be ready when the culture crumbles to provide answers." He wanted to know what I meant by "crumbled." I have some very practical answers that range from Disney to Social Security.

FALSEHOOD FAILS

This story covers a recent protest at Clemson University. That protest was students expressing anger that Clemson stopped having tampons in the MEN'S bathrooms -- because some men menstruate.

Additionally, while a sorority recently lost a court case on this topic, public opinion is swinging the other way.

If often takes a long time, but lies will lose.

WHAT HAPPENS IS CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM GROW AT SIMILAR RATES?

Another listener question wonders how my view of Christ's kingdom growing interacts with Islam's growth around the world. I'll draw some clear lines on the Christian's role, the Church's role, and a Christianized government's role in a world where Islam gets aggressive.

PEOPLE MOVING STATES BECAUSE OF POLITICS

This New York Times story profiles two families who left their states over politics. The Times seems to find this outcome negative. I also find it sad, but I'm also going to argue there's some healthy outcomes that can come from that. Our self-sorting can allow State and local governments to claw back power from the federal government, leaving more space for diverse laws, cultures -- and maybe place for more peace.
