  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.

Reframing the free trade argument
Historically, arguments for American free trade have often been criticized or met with skepticism. However, what would happen if these arguments were reframed to suggest the economic and political benefits free trade can offer? In a recent book review for Law and Liberty, Samuel Gregg seeks to answer this question and present others as he engages Pierre Lemieux’s book “What’s Wrong with Protectionism.” In “What’s Wrong with Protectionism” Lemieux presents several arguments for free trade that can be used in...
Unemployment as economic-spiritual indicator — October 2018 report
Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities. Conversely, not having a job can adversely affect spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Because unemployment is a spiritual problem, Christians in America need to understand and be aware of the monthly data on employment. Each month highlight the latest numbers we need...
What you should know about frictional unemployment
Note: This is post #100 in a weekly video series on basic economics. Unemployment is generally harmful to both the economy and to the individual. But there is one type of unemployment that is (mostly) benign, and can even be beneficial: frictional unemployment. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok explains why frictional unemployment helps allocate human capital (i.e. workers) to its highest valued use. Even when it’s caused by an event such as a firm going out...
Study: The opportunity costs of ‘soft socialism’
Democratic socialism is on the rise in America, inspired by Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential run and recent midterm victories by outspoken advocates such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. But while the movement emphasizes “popular” vs. “state” control, glazing socialist rhetoric with democratic munitarian vocabulary, how different is the movement from socialist manifestations of the past? What might it portend for the future of the American economy and broader society? In a new report, “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism,”the Trump...
Judges: Parents must pay children’s bills into their 30s
Michael Rotondo rose to infamy earlier this year as the 30-year-old whose parents had to sue in order to evict him from their home. But across Europe, judges have ruled that parents must financially support their children well into their 30s, until they finish schooling – or until they find a job in the same field as their sometimes-esoteric degrees. As I write in a new article at The Stream titled “Judges: Parents Must Pay their Adult Children’s Bills,” the...

Fr. Robert Sirico presented the Acton Institute’s 2018 Novak Award to Brazilian professor Lucas G. Freire on Monday, November 5.

Sirico personally handed Freire – an assistant professor at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in São Paulo, Brazil,...
An urgent agenda for Bolsonaro in Brazil
Once we get beyond the myths surrounding the long presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, we soon recognize that one of FDR’s successes was to establish a myriad of symbols that captured the imagination of world politics. Among one of the most enduring symbols is the “first 100 days” of an administration as a milestone of its achievements. “100 days” is basically an arbitrary number. For better or worse, however, it has e the rule by which many evaluate whether an...
6 Quotes: Billy Graham on patriotism and freedom

Although he travelled the world as “God’s Ambassador,” the humble evangelist from North Carolina had a special affection for his own country. In honor of his birthday, here are six quotes by Graham on freedom and love of country: On the sacrifices of veterans: “The freedoms we enjoy, the freedoms we take so much for granted, the freedoms we so often trifle with were bought not by the gold...
