　　Amos 5:24 In-Context

　　22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.

　　23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.

　　24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

　　25 "Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?

　　26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your godOr "lifted up Sakkuth your king" / "and Kaiwan your idols," / "your star-gods" ; Septuagint "lifted up the shrine of Molek" / "and the star of your god Rephan," / "their idols" - which you made for yourselves.

3 Disturbing Facts About the Social Mobility of Black Americans
One of the most important important socio-economic factors in America is also one of the least talked about: social mobility. Social mobility is the ability of an individual or family to improve (or lower) their economic status. The two main types of social mobility are intergenerational (i.e., a person is better off than their parents or grandparents) or intragenerational (i.e., e changes within a person or group’s lifetime). While there is no truly adequate gauge to measure such opportunities, we...
Rev. Sirico on Pope Francis’ comments about breeding ‘like rabbits’
In the Wall Street Journal, Acton Institute President and co-founder Rev. Robert A. Sirico discusses the pope’s ments. “If the pope got up and read the phone book, it would grab headlines,” Sirico quipped. ...
The Change We Need
As Luis de Molina (1535-1600) writes in A Treatise on Money ing): It is clearly evident that petty exchange is useful to the republic, as it is often that men need coins of a lesser value in order to buy the things they need daily, or to give alms, or for other such things in which the coinage of a higher value is of no use. ...
What Happens When You Can’t Afford Justice?
Rule of law isn’t an attention-grabber. There are no celebrities touting social media campaigns for rule of law, no telethons with your favorite pop star to answer the phone and take your money, no website where you can buy t-shirts and water bottles to show your support. Most people don’t even know what “rule of law” means. The rule of law, I think, is best understood by considering its opposite, which is the rule of men. The rule of men...
Baker Faces Discrimination Complaint for Refusing Anti-Gay Message on Cake
Source: AP Bakers, florists, and photographers who refuse to use their creative talents to serve same-sex weddings have been fined and have had their business threatened because they refuse to violate their conscience. Many Americans—including many Christians—even argued that private business owners should be forced to violate their conscience when such practices are considered discriminatory. But how far are they willing to defend their views? Would they, for instance, punish a baker for refusing to make a cake with anti-gay...
China: Brides Needed, Apply ASAP
China’s brutal one-child policy means that men far outnumber women in China. Men can’t find brides, and that leaves the door open for human-trafficking. Adam Minter reports that some men in China are willing (and able) to pay upwards of $64,000 to woo a woman into marriage. For those that can’t that, they can turn to marriage brokers. Unfortunately, many of these marriage brokers are human traffickers. Bride trafficking is one such response, and it has a long history in...
America: Exceptional Or Entitled?
It’s no secret that government entitlement programs have increased dramatically over the past few decades. It’s no secret that some would like to continue to expand such programs. And it’s no secret that America cannot afford to keep doing this, either economically or morally. Nicholas Eberstadt tackles the issue of entitlement in “American exceptionalism and the entitlement state.” It’s a worthy read; I’d like to offer a few salient points. Eberstadt begins by likening America to a transplant patient. The...
You Can’t Have ‘Settled Science’ Based on Unsettled Data
During his most recent State of the Union address, President Obama talked about climate change and claimed, “2014 was the planet’s warmest year on record.” Obama was basing his statement on a press release by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). According to the NASA data collected from more than 3,000 weather stations around the globe, “The year 2014 ranks as Earth’s warmest since 1880.” Climate change skeptics pushed back by questioning the accuracy of the report (more on...
