  Ephesians 6:14-16 In-Context

  12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

  13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

  14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

  15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

  16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

  17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

  18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

Columbus Day: Why Does It Matter?
The second Monday of October is designated as “Columbus Day” in the United States, ostensibly to give honor and tribute to the man, Christopher Columbus, who “discovered” America. Every American school kid learns to sing-song, “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Today, the reason most people in the U.S. notice Columbus Day is because they don’t get any mail, and federal workers get the day off. (Of course, with the federal mail system dying a slow death and the...
Rand Paul on the Global Slaughter of Christians
“From Boston to Zanzibar, there is a worldwide war on Christianity,” declared Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky). He made ments in a speech discussing the slaughter of Christians at the 2013 Values Voter Summit on October 11. The Kentucky Senator added, Across the globe, Christians are under attack, almost as if we lived in the Middle Ages or if we lived under early Pagan Roman rule. . . It’s almost as if that is happening again throughout the Middle East. Last...
Audio: Samuel Gregg Discusses the Government Shutdown
On Friday afternoon, Saumel Gregg, Acton Institute Director of Research, joined host Al Kresta on Kresta in the Afternoon to discuss the ongoing government shutdown from a Catholic perspective.

What the Obamacare Website Failure Teaches Us About Crony Capitalism
As everyone from political pundits to late-night talk show hosts have pointed out, HealthCare.gov, the flagship technology portion of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), went live a couple of weeks ago — and was plete failure. A very, very expensive failure. Andrew Couts points out that taxpayers “seem to have forked up more than $500 million of the federal purse to build the digital equivalent of a rock.” Clouts puts that figure in perspective paring it to other websites:...
A Global Renaissance in Christian Higher Education
In the U.S. there are approximately 4,500 colleges and universities (2,774 4-year institutions and 1,721 2-year institutions). Most of the institutions that were founded prior to 1900 began as Christian colleges, though only about 970 schools are still religiously affiliated. Out of those 970 sectarian schools, 570 are distinctively Christian. America has almost as many Christian schools as the entire rest of the bined. But that’s quickly changing. As the Chronicles of Higher Education notes, in the developing world there...
America is Getting Dumber and Less Creative
The New York Times reports on a study that found that young adults in the United States not only fare poorly in math and pared with their petitors — something we have known for years — but also now in literacy. More surprisingly, even middle-aged Americans — who, on paper, are among the best-educated people of their generation anywhere in the world — are barely better than middle-of-the-pack in skills. Arne Duncan, the education secretary, released a statement saying that...
Greece’s ‘Golden Dawn’ Thrives as Economy Tanks
From the Financial Times: Greece’s neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party has penetrated the country’s police force, set up caches of heavy weapons in remote locations and trained its recruits to carry out brutal attacks against immigrants and political opponents, according to the country’s top security official. Nikos Dendias, minister of public order and civil protection, said in an interview with the Financial Times that Golden Dawn’s cult of extreme violence was “unique” among European far-right groups. The Ancient Greek leaders stressed...

The Public Witness Of Adoption
One the best arguments against the growing tentacles of the social assistance welfare state into the lives of people who are suffering is the practice of the Christian practice of adoption and orphan care. Progressives often charge classical liberals and conservatives as being heartless toward the poor because only progressives are willing to make sacrifices for the poor. Of course, the progressive method is usually to use force to solicit the help. Nevertheless, one of the ways in which Christians...
