  Romans 5:6-8 In-Context

  4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

  5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

  6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

  7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

  8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

  9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

  10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Teaching and learning for a free and virtuous society
‘Anno Szilvásvárad’ Reformed school, lesson by Globetrotter19 CC BY-SA 3.0 Once upon a time I was a teacher. A regular ‘according-to-Holye’ teacher of English, History, Government, and Economics in public high schools. The reasons I am no longer a teacher are relatively simple and boring. I couldn’t find a full-time position in the place that I grew up in and that I loved. This other Eden… demi-paradise… this precious stone… set in the silver sea of this earth, this ground…...

The broom prophet: Lessons from a craftsman on sanctified work
Throughout its history, the American economy has transitioned from agrarian to industrial to information-driven. In turn, “work with the hands” has e less and mon, replaced by widespread automation and a host of intangible services. Meanwhile, a quiet resurgence in craftsmanship has begun, whether one looks to the massive online marketplaces for handmade goods or the diverse range of specialized artisans who continue to find niches in a globalized economy.

How real GDP helps us know if we’re ‘better off’ than before
Note: This is post #71 in a weekly video series on basic economics. “Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago? What about 40 years ago?” These sorts of questions invite a different kind of query, says Alex Tabarrok: what exactly do we mean, when we say “better off?” And more importantly, how do we know if we’re better off or not? To those questions, there’s one figure that can shed at least a partial light: real...
Samuel Gregg: How Europe’s way of denial became a way of death
Modern Europe faces a future of economic stagnation and demographic decline brought on by the hollowing out of its self-confidence. These impending calamities reached the crisis point at precisely the moment the continent faces an unprecedented influx of migrants who share none of its leaders’ epistemological angst. Furthermore, some of the newest citizens are mitted to co-existence nor averse to advancing their religion through taqiyya or, increasingly, jihad. Samuel Gregg, Acton’s research director, recounts Douglas Murray’s argument in his review...

Those are legitimate concerns, to be sure. But in addition to any threats to material wellbeing or national security, such protectionism also inhibits...

The long road back from Communism
“In 1989, Communismfinally collapsed,” writes Mihail Neamţu, a Romanian thinker and public intellectual, in this week’s Acton Commentary. “On our first official munistChristmas holiday, my family was hoping that the political landscape of Eastern Europe would quickly be shaped by healthy democratic institutions, secure private property and free trade, petition, as well as a robust sense of personal responsibility.” Nearly 20 years later, the anticipated reforms have been abandoned, the economy sputters, and Romanian society remains stubbornly statist: State monopolies...
