  Acts 4:12 In-Context

  10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

  11 Jesus is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'Psalm 118:22

  12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

  13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

  14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

Human Trafficking Victims Lose Out To Partisanship
A bill designed to aid victims of human trafficking in the U.S. should not be divisive. It should not be stalled in the House of Representatives. It should be enacted swiftly, so as to get help to as many victims as possible, as quickly as possible. This bill would improve programs already in place that are specifically designed to aid underage victims of trafficking, increase the ease of which local law enforcement and prosecutors can investigate possible trafficking and child...
Support for Government Redistribution Has Fallen (Except Among Liberals)
A new report from the liberal Brookings Institute finds that “despite the large increases in economic inequality since 1970”, American survey respondents exhibit no increase in support for redistribution. This holds true even for the two groups who have historically been most reliant on redistribution: the elderly and blackAmericans. The report expresses surprise by the results, as does the Washington Post. As the Post‘sMax Ehrenfreund says, Thepolling data challenges mon-sense ideathat voters support policies that are in their material interest,...
‘Men, Some Say, Are Just Passé’
Christina Hoff Sommers, of American Enterprise Institute, takes on the idea of men being obsolete. Civilization now needs empathy, social intelligence, emotional knowledge – right? And that’s where females excel. So do we still need men? ...
The Greatest ‘Privilege’ In America? Get Married, Stay Married
There is a lot of talk about “privilege” in our nation: white privilege, the privilege of the “1%,” privilege of living in one school district versus another. Yet, the greatest “privilege” in America is hardly ever mentioned. It’s a privilege that creates happy, healthy, smart kids, a privilege that helps ensure economic stability for everyone involved, a privilege that keeps our neighborhoods and cities safer and more productive. It’s marriage. (I was going to say “mah-widge” and give a Princess...
Putin’s Kleptocracy and Family Values
There will be some twists and turns here, so hold on. Earlier this month, the BBC highlighted what it called “YouTube sensation ‘I, Russian Occupier'” the hit propaganda film that “feels more like the opening sequence of a big budget Hollywood movie than a homemade political message.” So far, it’s racked up 5.6 million views and more than ments. (“likes” are outpacing down votes by a 5-1 margin. The video also “attacks Western values, dropping in visual references to same-sex...
How Pollution Permits Help Reduce Pollution
A key way to reduce pollution is to provide a mechanism that allows some firms to pollute as much—or even more—than they normally would. That idea may sound ridiculous—reduce pollution by allowing pollution?—but it’s been proven to be a surprisingly effective means of cleaning up the environment. In 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act were added which included market-based incentives to reduce pollution, such as “emissions permits” for certain pollutants. As Robert W. Crandall explains, These are, in effect,...
P.J. O’Rourke Addresses the Supreme Court, References Full House, Gilmore Girls, and The Avengers
An amicus brief is a learned treatise submitted by anamicus curiae(Latin for “friend of the court”), someone who is not a party to a case who offers information that bears on the case but that has not been solicited by any of the parties to assist a court. The amicus brief is a way to introduce concerns ensuring that the possibly broad legal effects of a court decision will not depend solely on the parties directly involved in the case....
Women Of Liberty: Jane Marcet
Jane Marcet is remembered most often for her scientific work in chemistry. Born in London in 1769, she was well-educated, and shared a passion for learning with her father. When she married Alexander Marcet, a physician, she would proof-read his work and eventually decided to publish her own thoughts. In a series of pamphlets entitled, “Conversations,” Marcet wrote on chemistry, botany, religion, and economics. She was a member of the London Political Economy Club, founded by James Mill. In the...
Bring Back Childhood Chores: How Hard Work Cultivates Character
Today’s parents are obsessed with setting their kids on strategic paths to “success,” filling their dayswith language camps, music lessons, advanced petitive sports, chess clubs, museum visits, and so on. Much of this is beneficial, of course, but amid the bustle, at least one formative experience is increasingly cast aside: good, old-fashioned hard work. In an essay for the Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Breheny Wallace points to a recent survey of U.S. adults where “82% reported having regular chores growing...
What’s Wrong With Common Core? Let Teachers Tell You
I taught high school for a number of years, but as a religion teacher, I escaped most of the trials and tribulations my fellow teachers went through annually as new teaching methods were rolled out. Even private school teachers seem to get a new set of rules each year: teach this way, not that; use these techniques, not those. However, few teaching restrictions seem to be as questionable as Common Core. What about teachers? What are their thoughts on Common...
