Sex Trafficking CAN Be Eliminated
There are few things more horrifying than the sexual exploitation of a child. Perhaps it is made even worse to think that those who are meant to protect the child (parents, police, court officials) plicit in the harm of that child. No place on Earth was worse than Cambodia. But that has changed. According to International Justice Mission (IJM), Cambodian officials have said, “No more,” and they meant it. In the early 2000s, the Cambodian government estimated that 30 percent...
Tim Keller on How Churches Can Form Fully Christian Workers
In a new video from Made to Flourish, Tim Keller offers practical guidance to ministers and churches on how they canbetter disciple their peoplewhen es to work and stewardship: There are a lot of very non-Christian philosophies that are dominating a lot of areas of work, and if a Christian isn’t discipled, they’re just going to go along with the spirit of the age.

Finding A Way Out of Poverty in American Cities
“For too many of the poor in today’s America, life is essentially that of a client,”says Elise Hilton in this week’s Acton Commentary. “The government cares for their needs: housing, food, education. Spending one’s life as client creates an entitlement mentality: ‘I am here to receive. I am owed something. I depend on others for my needs and desires.’” A place is where people are invested. They create homes, send their kids to school and dance lessons, own businesses, shop...
Rule by Law, or When the Quasi-Law is King
For much of human history, the dominant legal principle was rex lex—“the king is law.” In the 1600s, though, that view was subverted, mostly by Christian thinkers like Samuel Rutherford, who claimed lex rex—“the law is king.” Since then most Western governments have adopted the principle of that the rule of law, rather than the arbitrary diktats of government officials, should govern a nation. Increasingly, though, the principle of rule of law is being replaced, as Bruce Frohnen says, by...
Kishore Jayabalan: Pope Francis, The Economy And Missing The Mark
Kishore Jayabalan, Director of Istituto Acton in Rome, evaluates a new book on Pope Francis and the economy. The book, Papa Francesco: Questa Economia Uccide [Pope Francis: This Economy Kills], is written by two Italian journalists known for skirting the ethical standards for Vatican journalists. For that alone, Jayabalan does not hold their work in high esteem. Writing at Crisis Magazine, Jayabalan is curious as to the motives of authors Andrea Tornielli and o Galeazzi: As I started reading Papa...
Why Religious Organizations Are Preemptively Exempt from Taxation
Chief Justice John Marshalwrote, in the Supreme Court ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), “That the power to tax involves the power to destroy; that the power to destroy may defeat and render useless the power to create . . . are propositions not to be denied.” Yet for the last 196 years, people have repeatedly tried to deny those propositions. The latest example involves the Supreme Court’s pending ruling on the same-sex marriage issue will affect the non-profit status...
