  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.

By God’s Grace we will win the COVID-19 race
In this global crisis, mankind will find medical weapons to slay the COVID-19 dragon and stave off a massive loss of lives and global economic collapse. However, this means allowing enough operating space for God, through His Grace, by remaining diligently prayerful while also zealous and creative in our scientific research.

How to turn social distancing into love
The most ubiquitous phrase popularized by the coronavirus epidemic, “social distancing,” carries connotations of shunning or anti-social behavior. The isolation of the elderly particularly tugs at our heartstrings. The widely shared photo of 88-year-old Dorothy Campbell speaking through a nursing home’s window to her 89-year-old husband, Gene, poignantly depicts the deep-seated need for human contact amid the obstructions of anti-virus protocols. But distancing in a time of global pandemics preserves life. As such, it should be seen as a form...

The two most important principles to remember during a pandemic
Like everyone else, I’m trying to wrap my mind around the blizzard of information on the coronavirus pandemic and the sudden change in my daily routine. It’s all a bit surreal. Yes, I still retrieve myWall Street Journalin the morning—but with gratitude that this is not my sole medium of information. Ubiquitous access to information—good or bad; accurate or inaccurate—can be unsettling during a crisis. But the free flow of information is always preferable to censorship or state-orchestrated disinformation, which...
Acton Line podcast: How Communist China’s virus coverup caused a pandemic
As of March 18, Coronavirus, or COVID-19 — which originated in Wuhan, China — has infected over 200,000 people and has killed more than 8,000 people globally. What responsive measures should have been taken by China that weren’t? How did the People’s Republic of China put the world in danger by failing the people of Wuhan, and who in China risked their lives and even the lives of their family members to raise the alarm for your sake?

Coronavirus’ greatest threat: our social fabric
Over the weekend, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced that her office received plaints of retailers gouging coronavirus-panicked consumers on the price of basic necessities: Stores in Farmington Hills, Dearborn, Ann Arbor and Allendale have been accused of jacking up the price of hand sanitizers, face masks, and rice and lentils by up to 900%. In one case, the Allendale store was allegedly selling face masksthat would normally sell for $3 apiecefor $6 to $10 each. Another store had increased...
Empty store shelves? Thank price controls
The COVID-19 pandemic panic has caused an eerie, post-apocalyptic scene to monplace across the country: supermarkets with barren shelves. One would think that this is the time for an intervention to ensure that stores stay stocked with the things we need, but governors nationwide are taking the opposite approach. This includes Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Several other states connect price controls to declared states of emergency, as well. Despite their good intentions, policies meant to curb price gouging will perpetuate...
Why the economy needs a theology of the body
This article first appeared on March 17, 2020, in Public Discourse, the journal of the Witherspoon Institute, and was republished with permission. The COVID-19 pandemic is catalyzing trends in the economy that have been incubating for some time. Three basic elements form the dynamics at the core of economic development in the twenty-first century: virtualization, automation, and incarnation. The first two of these have received the majority of the attention, both popularly and in policy discussions. But as the coronavirus...
How the Church can respond to the Coronavirus pandemic
If you had you asked someone on New Year’s Day of 2020 what they envisioned the year ahead might look like, few would’ve imagined that the first few months would be spent canceling trips, events, and academic semesters. Families and college students hadn’t planned to spend their spring break in quarantine. Most businesses didn’t enter the year in fear of stomach-turning Dow Jones plummets and sobering market uncertainty. Regardless of projections, governments across the world are taking extensive measures to...
