  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 stamp for Che? Guevara ignored economics and human nature
At a minimum, one may see the West’s disconnect from economics reflected in Che Guevara’s immortalized visage, which adorns everything from college dorm rooms to a new stamp issued by the Republic of Ireland. (You can see a picture of the honor here.) The most familiar image of Guevara, who was born in Argentina to a father of part-Irish ancestry, entered the public canon through the hand of Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick. The Irish post office chose to fete Guevara,...

How close are we to ending extreme poverty?
Today is the 25th anniversary of the declaration by the UN General Assembly designating October 17 as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.90 per person per day. How close are we to eliminating that level of poverty? Closer than you may think. From the beginning of human history until about 1970, there were more people living in extreme poverty than people who were not. But around...
Vocation is not an excuse to ‘follow your passion’
Amid modern society’s mon materialistic assumptions about business and economics, Christians have a great deal to contribute when es to reviving and sustaining a transcendent view toward work and calling. Yet in highlighting the centrality of vocation, we risk the adoption of a different set of misaligned priorities and assumptions. For too many, our renewed emphasis on “vocation” is quickly misconstrued as an imperative to “follow your passion” or “live your dreams” — a cozy affirmation of our culture’s hedonistic...

Does bundling benefit social welfare?
Note: This is post #53 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Bundling refers to when two or more goods are sold together as a package. Cable TV is a prime example of bundling. What if there was no bundling and you had to pay for Cable TV by channel rather than purchasing channels in bundles? Would you end up paying more or less? In this video by Marginal Revolution University, economist Alex Tabarrok explains the benefits of bundling....
Trade and human flourishing: Insights from traditional Christian teaching
After the Brexit referendum, the UK stands at a crossroads. Free from the restrictions of Brussels, Great Britain is free to chart its own destiny. Some hope to use that freedom to undermine free markets, that leaving the EU will alleviate pressure for deregulation or privatization. Others see departure from the EU in 2019 as the door to a new vista of trade and innovation. We get an eyewitness account of the latter group in a new essay inReligion &...
Protectionism is economic suicide
The most charitable assumption you can make about people who support tariffs and other forms of protectionism is that they are economically illiterate. But if they are able to demonstrate they understand the economics of protectionism and still support such policies, then we are justified in assuming they don’t care about harming their neighbor. This binary choice may sound overly simplistic—after all, aren’t most policy plex?—but it really is that clear-cut. As Mark J. Perry explains, It’s a scientifically and...

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was warmly ed at the Acton Institute’s 27th Annual Dinner on Wednesday night and won applause for her plans to promote innovation and choice in schools. MLive news reported on the event. “We can amplify the voices of families that only want better for their kids, we can assist states who are working to further empower parents, and we can urge those who haven’t to start,” said DeVos.
