  Romans 8:1-2 In-Context

  1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

  2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set youThe Greek is singular; some manuscripts "me" free from the law of sin and death.

  3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,In contexts like this, the Greek word for "flesh" ("sarx" ) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit; also in verses 4-13. God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.Or "flesh, for sin" And so he condemned sin in the flesh,

  4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

China’s BBC ban is a warning for those who could crack down on ‘fake news’
Shortly after the Capitol riot, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated, “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.” This week, China put her words into action. It banished the BBC from Chinese airwaves, allegedly because of the global news service’s coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and Uighur Muslims’ persecution amounted to “disinformation.” The BBC reported on its own silencing: China’s State Film, TV and Radio Administration...
‘Religion & Liberty’ Winter 2021 issue released
The latest edition of the Acton Institute’s flagship journal, Religion & Liberty, has been released. The Winter 2021 issue focuses on the menace of political violence. Politics merce and goodwill unite. That truth has been driven home as politically inspired riots have swept the nation. In our cover story, Ismael Hernandez observes that the underlying ideology driving much of our division “is not drawn from the perspective of black Americans as they collectively reflected on the American experience; this view...
‘Mental torture’? Jimmy Lai denied bail for second time
Early Tuesday morning local time, guards hurried pro-democracy and human rights advocate Jimmy Lai out of his prison transport – handcuffed, arms chained around his waist like a member of a chain gang – and inside the courthouse. Lai’s only apparent consolation came from a copy of Thomas Merton’s Seven Storey Mountain, which his wife and child had given him days earlier. The bestselling spiritual classic instructs: The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller...
Organism, institution, and the black church
Some years back, I helped put together a small, edited volume intended as a primer on some of the ways in which the relationship between the church and political life has, and ought to be, understood. In The Church’s Social Responsibility, we aimed in part to apply the Kuyperian distinction between understanding the church as a formal institution and as a dynamic, organic body to questions of social justice. “Sometimes words have two meanings,” as Led Zeppelin has put it,...
New series on Orthodox Christian social thought
At Every Thought Captive, a blog of Ancient Faith Ministries, I’ve been writing a series on Orthodox Christianity and modern Christian social thought. In my first essay, I explore the question, “What is modern Christian social thought?” The plight of the working poor in the nineteenth century came to be called the “Social Question,” and by the end of that century Christian pastors and intellectuals refused to remain silent or continue to pine away for a bygone social order that...
How the $15 minimum wage accelerates community decline
As Congress debates the specifics of yet another stimulus bill, President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders continue to push for the inclusion a $15 federal minimum wage – a policy that is only likely to prolong pandemic pain for America’s most vulnerable businesses and workers. As if to confirm such fears, large corporations like Amazon and Walmart have been quick to voice their support for the increase. “It’s time to raise the federal minimum wage,” writes Amazon’s Jay Carney,...
The Acton Institute holds top-ranked conference among free-market think tanks: Forbes
As we noted on this blog last month, an independent report has ranked the Acton Institute among the world’s elite think tanks. An analyst at Forbes magazine has narrowed the focus and found that our annual Acton University rated as the highest-rated conference put on by “organizations that favor the free economy.” The University of Pennsylvania released its “2020 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report” on January 28. “[D]espite certain weaknesses,” this publication – produced by James G. McGann,...
The gift of ‘regular old living’: Pixar’s ‘Soul’ on work and vocation
Surrounded by abounding prosperity, we are constantly told to “follow our passions,” to “look deep inside ourselves,” to “find our calling,” to “do what we love and love what we do.” And why shouldn’t we? Freedom is expanding. Opportunity is everywhere. Having mostly escaped the material deprivation of human history, our attentions have quite happily turned toward the meaning of our work, and for those resistant to peting allure of materialism, it is a e shift, to be sure. Yet...
Entrepreneurship in theological perspective: Creative and innovative
What distinguishes something that is truly creative from something that is simply innovative? And how do we value and prioritize one or the other? In a recent study, “Creativity, Innovation, and the Historicity of Entrepreneurship,” Victor Claar and I attempt to disambiguate what we call “creative entrepreneurship” from “innovative entrepreneurship.” We describe creative entrepreneurship (or creativity more generally) as “what human beings do in connection with the fundamental givenness of things.” There are possibilities inherent in the created order on...
Rush Limbaugh, RIP: 6 quotations on socialism, the Founding Fathers, and life
The most popular conservative personality of modern times, Rush Limbaugh, passed away this morning at the age of 70 plications due to lung cancer. While neither an intellectual nor a writer – he did not earn a college degree – his quick wit and pithy turn of municated the message of a free and virtuous society to their largest consistent audience. His widow, Kathryn, announced Limbaugh’s death on his syndicated talk radio show this afternoon. Rush Hudson Limbaugh III was...
