  Daily Verse Reflection

  Commentary on Psalm 71:1-13

  (Read Psalm 71:1-13)

  David prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon God. With this petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy, should engage us to early piety. He that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the Lord, often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the Lord has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of God may be assured that he will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when their strength fails.

A Failure to Save
Photo Credit: Alan Cleaver via Compfight cc This first appeared in my newsletter,Economic Prospect, inlate 2008. Looking back after five years I still like it. The American failure to save is matched by our insistence on spending to have it all. One part of the problem is the consumer’s love of debt. The other part is the government’s love of debt. Both love debt to enjoy things now and to put off the day of reckoning. How did we get...
The Devil and Antonin Scalia
In Stephen Vincent Benét’s 1937 short story, “The Devil and Daniel Webster“, the famous American statesman not only gets Jabez Stone, a farmer who sold his soul to the devil, out of the contract, he gets Mr. Scratch to agree “never to bother Jabez Stone nor his heirs or assigns nor any other New Hampshire man till doomsday!” Webster was likely an excellent lawyer, but if I was in a lawsuit with the devil today I think I’d rather have...
Government Shut-Down: Not So Bad, Really
The panda cam at the Washington, D.C. zoo is down. The IRS is still taking our money, but not refunding anything.

There are a number of government employees, such as the National Weather Forecasters, who aren’t getting paid. (By the way, the weather forecaster is South Dakota went to work...

Shareholders United in Shutting Down Political Speech
Readers following my series of blog posts on shareholder proxy resolutions submitted by religious groups such as As You Sow and the Interfaith Council of Corporate Responsibility already know these resolutions have little to do with issues of faith. In fact, an overwhelming majority of these resolutions concern corporate speech and attempts to stifle it. AYS and ICCR – as well as a host of other religious shareholders – submit proposals drafted by Bruce Freed, head of the Center for...
Explainer: What You Should Know About the Debt Ceiling
What is the debt limit or debt ceiling? In most years the federal government brings in less revenue than it spends.

The current statutory limit on total debt issued by the Treasury...

God Is a Free Enterpriser
From Gerard Berghoef and Lester DeKoster’s Faithful in All God’s House: Stewardship and the Christian Life: The Lord God is a free enterpriser. This is one reason why Karl Marx, who was not a free enterpriser, rejected God. God is a free enterpriser because he expects a return on his investments. Jesus’ parables of the talents (Matt. 25:14–30) and of the ten minas (Luke 19:11–27) clearly teach us that God expects interest on the talents he invests in each of...
Bible College Credited as Major Reason for Angola Prison Transformation
The New York Times ran a piece over the weekend about the success of the bible college run through New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary at Angola Prison. Warden Burl Cain calls the college “the game changer,” and he added “It changed the culture of the prison.” Historically, Angola was known as one of the most violent and dangerous prisons in the country. Now Angola’s educational model is being replicated at other state penitentiaries across the nation. Maybe surprising to some,...
