  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.

Will Brett Kavanaugh defend Religious Liberty?
A few days ago, President Donald Trump named the Honorable Brett Kavanaugh as his nomination for the replacement of Supreme Court Judge Anthony Kennedy. Over the course of his 12-year tenure on the D.C. Circuit Court, Kavanaugh has stood in defense of religious liberty. Kavanaugh will prove to be the strict originalist that this country needs. Several cases from the D.C. Circuit Court shed light on how Kavanaugh might conduct himself on the Supreme Court: Newdow V. Roberts: In 2009,...
The future of the family shouldn’t be shaped by economic pessimism
Birthrates across the Western world are in free-fall, with more and more adults opting for fewer and fewer kids (if any at all), and making such decisions later and later in life. In 2017, fertility rates in America hit a record low for the second year in a row. The reasons for the decline are numerous, ranging from expansions in opportunity to increases in gender equality to basic shifts in personal priorities. According to a recent survey conducted by the...
The economics of ideas
Note: This is post #84 in a weekly video series on basic economics. What spurs the growth of new ideas? The vital factor is institutions, which serve as the soil where ideas are planted, says Alex Tabarrok in this video by Marginal Revolution University. While it may seem like ideas grow at random, the truth is you need a set of key ingredients, say Tabarook, or what we call “institutions.” (If you find the pace of the videos too slow,...
FAQ: The 2018 NATO summit’s two key issues
Donald Trump has just left Brussels after a two-day NATO summit after he raised two key issues. Here’s what you need to know. What were the main two key issues raised at the NATO summit?

Chafuen celebrates Catalan critic of socialism
Jaime Balmes was a young Catalan priest who died 170 years ago and is largely forgotten today. But Alejandro Chafuen, Acton’s Managing Director, International, believes that Balmes deserves more attention for his economic ideas and his critiques of socialism. Balmes was a priest, not an economist; nonetheless he contributed greatly to the intellectual history of Spain with his ideas on marginal utility and the paradox of value. Balmes, Chafuen writes, “tried bine the best theology with the best science.” Unfortunately,...
Can Bitcoin solve the classic problems of money?
The digital currency Bitcoin has not only attracted a lot of interest from investors, but it has raised some intriguing economic and financial questions. Economists and other theorists have long grappled with problems such as inflation, counterfeiting or money laundering. When we are talking about money in a digital world, however, we may have specific problems like scarcity and trust issues. Inflation Bitcoin is based on the underlying block chain technology (see this explainer). Each time a user discovers a...

5 things Christians and Muslims can agree on

Akyol has been speaking at Acton University for many years now and is a respected scholar in fields of Islam, politics, and Turkish affairs. He is a critic of Islamic extremism and the author of the influential book Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty. After attending both of Akyol’s lectures, a few points stood out...
We can separate church and state, but not religion and politics
All our politics is religious, says Jonathan Leeman. “Neutrality is a bluff, he adds, “We are all sectarians (and conversations in the public square will e more honest when everyone names their ‘sect’). . . . Whoever gets to define which issues are ‘religious’ gets to rigs the game.” Should we therefore conclude that the the U. S. Constitution’s “no religious test for public office” clause is nothing more than an ideological power play? “Not at all,” says Leeman: In...
How a Colorado business is welcoming refugees
Debates continue to rage about immigration policy and the best way to manage our range of migrant and refugee crises. Yet much of our solution-seeking seems intently focused on the levers of government. Whatever side of the political divide,we continue to hear Biblical justifications for a range of policy solutions. But however important those political considerations may be, we should remember that our basic ethic of Christian hospitality doesn’t rely or depend on decisions or decrees from the halls of...
