　　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.

Amity Shlaes and the ‘Forgotten President’
I just read the introduction to Amity Shlaes’s ing biography, Coolidge: Debt, Perseverance and the American Ideal. She has been very gracious in taking an interest in the work I have been doing on Coolidge and my recent mentary on the 30th president. Shlaes was interviewed in the Fall 2007 issue of Religion & Liberty about her book The Forgotten Man. I quickly realized in my own research there is no biography that captures Coolidge’s deep relevancy for today given...

Government’s Purpose Is to Improve Health?
In an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS’s This Morning, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg said, If government’s purpose isn’t to improve the health and longevity of its citizens, I don’t know what its purpose is. Since Bloomberg seems to be unclear about the purpose of government, perhaps we should make him a list. How about: establishing justice, insuring domestic tranquility, providing for mon defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our...

Truth and Blessings at Acton University
On the drive over to Acton University this morning I heard an argument on the radio about how the economy would have been fixed if only the dollar amount of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 would have been doubled. What a sad statement to pin your hope to in order to fix the American economy. That argument is unlikely to be uttered at Acton University. Fixing economic problems and lifting up the human condition is not measured...
The Heresy of the Prosperity Gospel
We have just wrapped up Acton University, our annual conference that focuses on integrating Christian theology and sound economic thinking. In light of that, it was interesting to read this post at , “America’s Premier Heresy,” where Scot McKnight takes a look at the Prosperity Gospel, especially as presented by Pastor Joel Osteen. If you’re not familiar with the Prosperity Gospel, it preaches that God wants all of us to be wealthy and healthy in this life, and that riches...
The Meaning of the “Pursuit of Happiness”
“The right to ‘the pursuit of happiness’ affirmed in the Declaration of Independence is taken these days to affirm a right to chase after whatever makes one subjectively happy,” says James R. Rogers, associate professor of political science at Texas A&M University. “Further, the Declaration doesn’t guarantee the right to happiness, the thought usually goes, but only the right to pursue what makes you happy. This reading of the Declaration’s ‘pursuit of happiness’ is wrong on both scores.” Arthur Schlesinger...
Art Immersion in the Church
This week we feature an interview with Joseph Tenney, an arts pastor at Park Community Church in downtown Chicago. He is passionate about the integration of art and theology and has helped to encourage art in the church by having “Immersion Nights” which is described on the church site as “an evening filled with images of art and discussion around what they mean and how we can learn to look at art through the ‘Lens of Christ.’” You can follow...

Interviews on Innovation, Distributism, Communitarianism, and Vocational Stewardship
Last week we mentioned the interviews of Rev. Sirico and Andreas Widmer conducted by Joseph Gorra. Over the weekend Gorra added four more excellent interviews of Acton University faculty. The first is an interview with Kishore Jayabalan, director of Istituto Acton in Rome, on Distributism as a ‘Third Way’: Gorra: Why do you think distributist premises are so appealing to some? Jayabalan: Distributism is appealing because it recognizes that there is more to life than economics and especially the production...
