　　3 "Because of you I will rebuke your descendantsOr "will blight your grain" ; I will smear on your faces the dung from your festival sacrifices, and you will be carried off with it.

　　4 And you will know that I have sent you this warning so that my covenant with Levi may continue," says the Lord Almighty.

Toward Cultural Renewal: 5 Competing Visions of Nature and Grace
“How are we to be in the world but not of it?” It’s the question at the center of Acton’s film series, For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, and our response has a profound impact on the shape of our cultural witness. In a lecture atSoutheastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Bruce Ashford frames the same question around our perspectives on nature and grace, asking: “What should be the relationship between God’s saving works and word and all...
John D. Rockefeller’s Special Gift to the World
Whether derided as a devil of modern industry orhailed as a saint of modern philanthropy, oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller remains a controversial figure. Although the reality of the man is plex,thosewho attackhis legacy tend to indulgein more than a fewhistorical errors and economic myths, painting him as a supreme symbol of all that is wrong with industrialization and capitalism. And yet, despite some troubling tactics and cronyist maneuvering, the man himself isa symbol of much that is good. As...
What Happens When ‘Soviet-style’ Food Banks Adopt a Free Market Approach?
“I am a socialist. That’s why I run a food bank. I don’t believe in markets. I’m not saying I won’t listen, but I am against this.” That was the reaction to one food bank director to the news that four market-friendly economists were going to help Feeding America, the largest network of food banks in the United States, allocate their resources. So what happened when America’s Soviet-style food banks began to embrace free-market economics? This Soviet-style system was hugely...
How Cell Phones are Helping to End Extreme Poverty
For the first time in world history, less than 10 percent of the global population will be living in extreme poverty. According to World Bank projections, at the end of 2015 only about 702 million people, or 9.6 per cent of the global population, will still be living in extreme poverty. Over the past three years, an additional 200 million people have climbed above the international poverty line. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that it’s based on...
Samuel Gregg: Fear and Loathing Stalk the West
Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg, writing for The American Spectator, looks at the telltale signs of a great civilization in decline. Many of us think of civilizational failure in terms of a society’s inability to withstand sudden external encounters. The sun-worshiping human-sacrificing slave-owning Aztec world, for instance, quickly crumbled before Hernán Cortés, a handful of Spanish conquistadors, and his native allies, and, perhaps above all, European-borne diseases. Given enough violence, superior technology, and the will to use it, an entire...

In the Quest for Globalization, Let’s Not Forget About ‘Internal’ Free Trade
“Globalization must do more than connect elites and big businesses that have the legal means to expand their markets, create capital, and increase their wealth.” –Hernando de Soto When assessing the causes of the recent boom inglobal prosperity, economists and analysts will point much of theirpraise tothe power of free trade and globalization, and rightly so. But whilethese are important drivers,we mustn’t forget that many people remain disconnected from networks of productivity and “circles of exchange.” Despite wonderful expansions in...
How to Use Proverbs 31 and a Credit Report to Choose a Spouse
A few days ago a young friend asked me if I could mend reading material on what a person should look for when dating. Being a serious-minded Christian gentleman he’d consider any serious dating partner to be a serious candidate for his future spouse. So what should someone read to get an idea of who to date/marry? Having given it some thought, there are two things I’d mend reading: Proverbs 31:10-31 and the dating partner’s credit score. Let’s start with...
Book Review: ‘The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America’
Leaving behind the dreams of socialism was a painful yet exciting journey for me. More than anything, I rediscovered myself in the process. Instead of a faithful drop within the wave of revolution, I was a unique and unrepeatable individual made in the very image of my Creator. Reading this book reminds me of the many things I discovered about what makes this country great: freedom, chief among them. Arthur Brook’s book successfully remind us of certain first principles placing...

That’s why it was such a privilege to sit down with him last week in the Acton Studios after he delivered his latest Acton Lecture Series Address last Thursday to record this week’s edition of Radio Free Acton. We talked about the message of conservatism, how it often gets bogged down...
