　　Ephesians 3:16-19 In-Context

　　14 For this reason I kneel before the Father,

　　15 from whom every familyThe Greek for "family" ("patria" ) is derived from the Greek for "father" ("pater" ). in heaven and on earth derives its name.

　　16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

　　17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

　　18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

　　19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

　　20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

　　21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

The state of nature in New Orleans
Thomas Hobbes once described human life in the “state of nature” as that of war, in which, in addition to the lack of merce, and the arts, there is “continual fear, and danger of a violent death. And the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” The ing out of New Orleans give us a glimpse of the truth of Hobbes’ observation. When evacuations were made mandatory prior to Hurricane Katrina’s landfall, those who were unable to leave...
Start where you are
Like everyone else outside the Gulf Coast (i.e., not a direct victim or a tireless rescue worker, volunteer, or military member there to help), the TV remote has e my panion. The challenges are unprecedented–which is hard to fathom after 9/11. We are all passionately concerned that Katrina victims be safely and humanely moved out of harm’s and ill-health’s way. But that is only one small step. Once the scope of disaster and the need became munities all over the...
Dunn deal: A challenge for the NFL
Pro running back Warrick Dunn, a native of Louisiana, is challenging every NFL player (other than New Orleans Saints) to donate at least $5,000 to hurricane relief efforts. “If we get players to do that, that would amount to $260,000 per team. I have heard from so many players both on my team and around the league who just want to do something. Well, this is the best thing that we can do and it’s something we should do,” he...
Prayer for Labor Day
From the PowerBlog archives: Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for mon good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work;...
Your tax dollars hard at work
FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has produced a “Kidz Rap,” designed to alert children to the dangers of disasters and the function of FEMA. For example, did you know that “mitigation is important to our agency”? Also, “When disaster strikes, we are at our best / But we’re ready all the time, ’cause disasters don’t rest.” Click here to listen to the “rap”. No word yet on what role the FEMA rap played in informing Deamonte Love of how...
Principled giving
The devastation that we have seen this week in the Gulf Coast region and especially New Orleans is almost beyond our capacity to understand. Our instinct is to do something – anything – to help those in need, but when the crisis is this huge, what does one do? Writing for National Review Online, Karen Woods, the Director of Acton’s Center for Effective Compassion, lays out some ways that we can most effectively use our resources to help the many...
Josephus and genetic engineering
With the prevalence of moral relativism in the western world, science tends to forge ahead, regardless of opposition from traditional ethics, into whatever realms it deems necessary for the “advancement” of mankind. To counterbalance the extremity of the munity, especially in regard to the genetic engineering of hybrid species, I would like to offer up the thoughts of an historian from 2000 years ago regarding the mixing of species. His e from the long oral and written traditions passed down...
Pascal’s blunder: Miscalculating the threat of global warming
In this week’s Acton Commentary titled “Pascal’s Blunder: Miscalculating the Threat of Global Warming”, Jordan Ballor writes on the growing voice of evangelical Christians speaking out about global warming. Ballor responds to a recent article in Christanity Today by Andy Crouch, pares the current debate about global warming to Pascal’s wager, stating that we gain nothing if global warming turns out to pletely natural and beyond human control, but that we gain everything if we can control it. Ballor points...
‘Maintain Social Order’
In a move that sets a dangerous precedent in an already muddled area, U.S. immigration officials revoked the asylum of a Chinese Christian who had been imprisoned for organizing underground church meetings. The INS decision was upheld last month by an Appeals court panel. Here’s an in-depth story from Christianity Today. Ann Buwalda, founder and executive director of human-rights group Jubilee Campaign USA, said that the ruling “Essentially…removed religion as a basis of gaining asylum.” The U.S. government’s contention was...
Democrat may delay $52 billion in Katrina aid
The House is likely to vote this week on an aid package that will provide nearly $52 billion during the next month or so on housing, clothing and other recovery needs for Hurricane Katrina victims. In the Senate, however, Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana threatened to delay passing the bill for more money. Republicans said that any attempt to amend the bill could delay getting the measure to President Bush for his signature before last week’s $10.5 billion disbursement...
