  Romans 8:28 In-Context

  26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

  27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.

  28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whoOr "that all things work together for good to those who love God, who" ; or "that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good-with those who" have been called according to his purpose.

  29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

  30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Public school installs stained glass window celebrating ‘Christian socialist’
When a public school receives a stained glass window from a church, it typically stirs controversy about the separation of church and state. Yet an elementary school has recently installed a window celebrating a self-described “Christian socialist.” Willard Elementary School in Winchester, Indiana, has festooned its cafeteria with a window donated by the town’s First United Methodist Church, depicting the woman whose name the school bears. Frances E. Willard (1839-1898) so empowered women through education that the Evanston College for...

Acton Line podcast: Are we all Keynesians now? Why Lord Acton matters today
In 1965, Milton Friedman was quoted by Time magazine for saying “We are all Keynesians now,” referring to how pervasive the thoughts of economist John Maynard Keynes had e in society and economics. Known as the founding father of macroeconomics, Keynes’s economic thought changed the way economics is approached, for better or for worse. How did his economic thought e so dominant and where has it left us? Victor Claar, professor of economics at Florida Gulf Coast University, explains. Afterwards,...
The human person, economy, and state
In this week’s Acton Commentary I explore Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris’s proposal to federalize day care to align school and work schedules as, “an economic growth and child development strategy”: Economists, politicians, and even everyday people often talk of “the economy” as if it were a separate and distinct thing from the values, choices, and actions of everyday people. This is a profound mistake. “The economy” is simply a shorthand way of expressing the sum total of all of...
The myth of the young entrepreneur
Jeffrey Tucker wrote a good piece at The American Institute for Economic Research. It is an important reminder about how hard business is and how the idea that most entrepreneurs are young is a myth. When I mention to people that the average of age of entrepreneurs is not the twenties, but around forty, they are at first surprised. After all, is Mark Zuckerberg young? Yes, but he was the outlier. Of course, once we think about it, it makes...
College student sets himself on fire for socialism
On Friday, November 8, a 22-year-old French college student set himself on fire outside the government agency that administers university housing and living allowances. The reason? The government had revoked his monthly benefits after he failed his courses for the second year in a row. His suicide attempt touched off violent national protests that the government is perpetrating “violence” against the students of France’s tuition-free universities, because it reduced students’ monthly living stipend by $10 a month. The 22 year...
The 101 greatest philosophers of liberty (and Lord Acton is #70)
The Acton Institute’s namesake, Lord Acton, finds himself honored in a new book about the philosophers who cultivated the intellectual seeds that blossomed into Western civilization. Lord John Dalberg-Acton ranks at number 70, not because he had less influence on liberty than 69 others, but because the new collection unfolds in chronological order. Eamonn Butler provides brief, encyclopedic entries of figures from Pericles to Gary Becker in his newest book, School of Thought – 101 Great Liberal Thinkers, published by...
The temptation of propaganda
Law & Liberty just published a talk I gave at the Philadelphia Society meeting earlier this year on conservatism and the future of truth. We live in an age of propaganda. We are saturated by it from advertising, intrusive technology, and the latest politically correct fashion. We also live in a time that requires us to make lots of distinctions to plex problems, which propaganda makes almost impossible. While all ages and people are tempted by what Josef Pieper calls...
The ‘dead-end job’ that has delivered dozens from homelessness
She set out to make a product to help the homeless endure life on the streets during Detroit’s brutal winters. She ended up starting a business that has taken dozens of homeless people from desperation to independence. Veronika Scott grew up in poverty. Her parents’ addictions sometimes plunged their entire family into homelessness, and she remembers being written off as hopeless. “People just looked at you as if you’re worthless by extension, as if you’re doomed to repeat the same...
China has a lawless government
There’s rarely a day when China isn’t featured prominently in the news. Once upon a time, most of that coverage was about China’s rise out of poverty. Now, however, greater attention is being given to some decidedly negative developments. These include the country’s growing economic problems, its systematic violations of religious liberty, or the efforts to suppress protestors in Hong Kong. In one sense, the theme linking all these problems is that of authoritarianism, verging on totalitarianism. That in turn...
