He might not embrace it to the extent the Bruderhof do, but it’s likely that he would be closer to it than many Western Christians who have wedded themselves to a materialistic culture. I will admit that Scott and Erin are probably more right than wrong about Dreher’s free market thought…

How we can best love and serve that neighbor is not always easy to determine in our modern economy but a look at the Pope’s discussion of the social dimensions of the gospel, especially his emphasis on the workings of the free market and its exploitation of the poor, might give us some direction. In sections 54 of The Joy of the Gospel he writes: . . . some peop…

He exposed our projections for the idolatry that they are and gave us the way to become free of them.

The Court has not always been as friendly to religious freedom issues as freedom of speech issues, but this term did mark a significant victory for the cause of freedom of religion with Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia v.

…hat is old is gone. The dirt, the old, is cleared away so that the new may come. Reading Psalm 81 during Lent, we see a God who longs to be the center of his people’s lives. A God who has rescued them, and wants His people to love Him. Hear me, my people—I have rescued you, not some other god. It was me. Don’t worship anyone (or anything!) but me. As you read, set aside what distracts. Clear away all that keeps you from following God’s ways. I rem…
