  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 Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. — P.J. O’Rourke Sometimes, a ray of light breaks through the dense gloom overhanging our political culture. Gov. Rick SnyderMichigan voters, in a mass outbreak mon sense, on Tuesday resoundingly rejected a $2 billion tax increase proposal pitched as a fix...
Motherhood: The World’s Toughest Job?
The work of mothers is some of the most remarkable work to behold.Family is the “school of life” and the “nursery of love,” as Herman Bavinck describes it, and in turn, thestewardship oflove and lifeinvolves far more than a simple setof tasks, chores, and responsibilities. Motherhood is indeedfar more than a “job,”as Rachel Lu recently reminded us. And yet, paring it to other occupations, we mightbegin to get a sense of how true that statementactually is. In a recent ad...
Unemployment as Economic-Spiritual Indicator — April 2015 Report
Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities. Conversely, not having a job can adversely affect spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Because unemployment is a spiritual problem, Christians in America need to understand and be aware of the monthly data on employment. Each month highlight the latest numbers we need...
The Problem With Urban Progressive Part-Time Freedom Lovers
Since the 1950s, the modern conservative movement has been marked by “fusionism”—a mix of various groups, most notably traditional conservatives and libertarians. For the next fifty years a conservative Christian and a secular libertarian (or vice versa) could often mon ground by considering how liberty lead to human flourishing. But for the past decade a different fusionist arrangement has been tried (or at least desired) which includes progressives and libertarians. Brink Lindsey coined the term “liberaltarians” in 2006 to describe...
Religious Activists Lose Another Battle Against GMOs
As You Sow (AYS), a shareholder activist group, was rebuffed last month in a move to curtail the use of Abbott Laboratories’ genetically modified organisms in its Similac Soy Isomil infant formulas. The defeat of the resolution marks the third year Abbott shareholders voted down an AYS effort to limit and/or label GMO ingredients by significant margins. This year’s resolution reportedly garnered only 3 percent of the shareholder vote. Such nuisance resolutions fly in the face of the facts: GMOs...
Herman Bavinck on the Glory of Motherhood
Happy Mother’s Day weekend from Herman Bavinck, who poetically summarizes the work, beauty, and glory of motherhood in The Christian Family: [The wife and mother] organizes the household, arranges and decorates the home, and supplies the tone and texture of home life; with unequaled talent she magically transforms a cold room into a cozy place, transforms modest e into sizable capital, and despite all kinds of statistical predictions, she uses limited means to generate great things. Within the family she...
Acton University 2015: Plenary Speaker Joel Salatin
Don’t let the dirty boots and the beat-up cowboy hat fool you: Joel Salatin is not your average farmer. While he is a farmer (he owns and operates Polyface Farm), he has a lot to say about how we produce, distribute and eat food in our nation, and how practices in the West negatively impact the developing world. What each of these delegates said, each session I went to, was, “You Americans butt out. We don’t need your foreign aid....
China Attempts to End Its War on Baby Girls
If you were asked to name the technologies whose proliferation inadvertently threatens the human race, what would you include? Landmines? Assault rifles? Nuclear warheads? Add this one to your list: the sonogram machine. The widespread use of sonogram technology—coupled with liberal abortion laws—has made it easier than ever for women to identify the sex of their child so that those without a Y chromosome can be killed before they’re even born. The effects of this war on baby girls can...
Mani, Pedi, Human Slavery
For many of us ladies, getting our nails done is a regular bit of pampering. We stop off at the local nail salon, grab a magazine and relax while someone paints our nails. We pay our $25 and off we go. We never, for one moment, consider the person doing our nails could be a slave. For those who study human trafficking, nail salons have long been held as a hotspot for trafficking victims. But for the average client, the...
