  12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe byOr "kept them faithful to"that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

Manna and the land: God’s methods of miraculous provision
Throughout the Bible, we see miraculous moments of God’s immediate provision. He provides manna and quail for the Israelites in the wilderness (Ex. 16). For Elijah, he uses ravens to deliver bread and meat and later supplies daily meal and oil (1 Kings 17). He provides wine for the wedding at Cana (John 2). He multiples loaves and fishes among Jesus’ disciples to feed a crowd of five thousand (Matthew 14). Yet if God is able to intervene and provide...
The spiritual core of political hate
“A new study confirms that creeping tribalism has Americans bitterly divided, acrimonious, and dismissive of others based on political differences,” says Rev. Ben Johnson in this week’s Acton Commentary. “Behind this animosity lies a spiritual principle that Rev. Timothy Keller touched on during his address at this year’s Acton Institute annual dinner.” The problem, Keller said, is that people chose a “modern identity” by defining pletely with one, selected characteristic or feeling. Often, it is a profession, especially high-status careers...
Rev. Tim Keller on how the modern identity presents problems for life and business
On October 17, Rev. Timothy Keller delivered a keynote speech to a sold-out audience at the Acton Institute’s 2018 Annual Dinner.

Modern identity, claims Keller, presents serious problems for the contemporary business world. Keller presents the Gospel as the answer to modern issues of identity. From engaging work by scholars such as Charles Taylor to reciting lyrics from Disney’sFrozen, Keller’s municates...
How Christian Marxism took root in Brazil
1968 was a year of intense change for the world. Anyone who lived it may have thought the world was being engulfed by the waters of revolution.

C.S. Lewis on how equality is like medicine
“I do not think that equality is one of those things (like wisdom or happiness) which are good simply in themselves and for their own sakes,” said C.S. Lewis. “I think it is in the same class as medicine, which is good because we are ill, or clothes which are good because we are no longer innocent.” In this video, Lewis explains why legal and economic equality are “absolutely necessary remedies for the Fall, and protection against cruelty.” ...
Does social media compromise free will?
In an article for Law and Liberty, Michael Matheson Miller, a research fellow at the Acton Institute, reflects on the book “10 Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now.” Written by Jaron Lanier, a “technologist and musician”, “10 Arguments” shares thought-provoking ideas about the dangers and risks involved with social media. “It’s worth noting that Lanier is not anti-technology,” Miller writes.

The Sandinista Revolution (1979 – 1990), which sought to transform Nicaragua into a new Cuba, was well-known for many things, including the way in which it highlighted the new alliance between the Latin American Communist movements and liberation theologians. Among the Sandinista leaders was Father Ernesto Cardenal. He was the perfect prototype of the “guerrilla priest”: a Rosary in his pocket, Marx’s Das Capital in one hand and an AR-15 in the other. In 1983, Nicaragua was also the scene...
