  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.

Student Debt and the Value of an Education
“Despite the mounting cost and swelling debt,” notesLaura Prejeanin this week’s Acton Commentary, “America’s demand for education, particularly higher education, has not decreased, defying typical market expectations.” This is what economists call inelastic demand, when people continue to buy a good or service regardless of an increase in prices. Though the post-recession job market is still difficult, growing student debt ought not to lead us to forget the dignity — and responsibility — of each individual student. When prices for...

The Economy of Love: Transformation Through Obedience
I’ve recently discussed the temptations of self-willed religion and the risks of disobedience, cautioning against self-chosen service and sacrifice. Over at the FLOW blog, Evan Koons highlights the power in doing the opposite. Quoting Stephen Grabill, director of programs at Acton, Koons notes that when submit our lives to Christ and obey God’s direct and divine calling, he “reverses the barrenness, isolation, and brokenness” in our lives, and thus, the world around us. When God told Abraham his descendants would...
Ex-Im Bank and the Unseen Costs of Political Privilege
With its authorization charter expiring at the end of September, the U.S. Export-Import Bank e under increased scrutiny from rabble-rousers and thehum-drum alike.An otherwise obscure fixture in the grand scheme of federal-government corporatism, Ex-Im finances and insures (i.e. subsidizes) foreign purchases of U.S. goods for those who wouldn’t otherwise accept the risk. So far, we’ve seen a variety of good arguments made against the bank. It privileges panies over others. It doesn’t meaningfully improve national exports, despite many claims to...
The Last Article on the Hobby Lobby Case You’ll Ever Need to Read
Are you sick to death of hearing about the recent Hobby Lobby contraceptive mandate kerfuffle? Me too. Yes, it’s one of the most important religious liberty cases in decades. But the constant debates about the case on blogs, newspapers, TV, radio, and social media, has left even those of us concerned about freedom beaten and exhausted. Besides, what is left to discuss? Is there really anything new that can be said? Surprisingly, the answer seems to be “yes, there is.”...
Is Religious Freedom a Slippery Slope?
Many pro-life Catholics and evangelicals cheered when the Supreme Court ruled that small business employers don’t have to pay for abortifacients in health insurance plans. But could support for conscience rights lead down a slippery slope? “Some slopes are indeed slippery, and we do well to approach them with caution,” says theologian and philosopher Richard J. Mouw, “Which is why I take it seriously when I find myself challenged by a slippery slope argument about something that I advocate.” My...
‘You Can’t Win If People Think You Don’t Care About Them’
Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, challenges conservatives to think and act differently in the fight against poverty and e inequality. He says conservatives must acknowledge that we have e inequality in our society, and be willing to do something about it. That does not mean e redistribution. Rather, he says, we must be willing to do what actually helps the poor. Brooks is clear: what helps the poor is free enterprise. However, much of our political rhetoric...

Buying Babies: The Rise of Surrogacy In The U.S.
I’m sure Willie Nelson was not thinking about surrogacy issues when he wrote “If You’ve Got The Money, Honey,” but it’s applicable. $100,000? Check. 9 months? Check.
