  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.

How Cell Phones are Helping to End Extreme Poverty
For the first time in world history, less than 10 percent of the global population will be living in extreme poverty. According to World Bank projections, at the end of 2015 only about 702 million people, or 9.6 per cent of the global population, will still be living in extreme poverty. Over the past three years, an additional 200 million people have climbed above the international poverty line. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that it’s based on...
Thanks to Free Enterprise, U.S. Cities Have Larger Economies than Most Countries
In their latest report, the World Economic Forum ranks the U.S. economy as the world’s third petitive, behind only Switzerland and Singapore. But as James Pethokoukis notes, what this really means is that the “US is the petitive largeeconomy.” Too often we forget just how “large” the U.S. economy really is—and why it matters. We prefer pare things that are semantically similar, so we lump the U.S., Switzerland, and Singapore under the category of “countries.” But the U.S. economy is...
Resource Page on Pope and Environment Continues With Fresh Content
While the 2015 papal visit to the United States has wrapped up, the Acton Institute continues to add fresh content to our webpage dedicated to the pope, the environment, the global economy and other issues of note. Currently, the page features a Fox News video with Acton co-founder Rev. Robert Sirico, discussing the pope’s first U.S. trip, and his speeches and remarks during that visit. In addition, the page highlights Acton expert news analysis, including recent remarks by Samuel Gregg,...
Book Review: ‘The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America’
Leaving behind the dreams of socialism was a painful yet exciting journey for me. More than anything, I rediscovered myself in the process. Instead of a faithful drop within the wave of revolution, I was a unique and unrepeatable individual made in the very image of my Creator. Reading this book reminds me of the many things I discovered about what makes this country great: freedom, chief among them. Arthur Brook’s book successfully remind us of certain first principles placing...
How to Use Proverbs 31 and a Credit Report to Choose a Spouse
A few days ago a young friend asked me if I could mend reading material on what a person should look for when dating. Being a serious-minded Christian gentleman he’d consider any serious dating partner to be a serious candidate for his future spouse. So what should someone read to get an idea of who to date/marry? Having given it some thought, there are two things I’d mend reading: Proverbs 31:10-31 and the dating partner’s credit score. Let’s start with...
The Economic Reeducation of Pope Francis?
It may be too early to tell, says Kishore Jayabalan in this week’s Acton Commentary, but has Francis has learned something about economics from his American critics? Can we dare to say that Francis has learned something about economics from his American critics? Maybe so. Compare what he said in Latin America about the “idolatry of money” and the “dung of the devil” to his speech in Congress about the “creation and distribution of wealth” and the “spirit of enterprise.”...
Unemployment as Economic-Spiritual Indicator — September 2015 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...
John D. Rockefeller’s Special Gift to the World
Whether derided as a devil of modern industry orhailed as a saint of modern philanthropy, oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller remains a controversial figure. Although the reality of the man is plex,thosewho attackhis legacy tend to indulgein more than a fewhistorical errors and economic myths, painting him as a supreme symbol of all that is wrong with industrialization and capitalism. And yet, despite some troubling tactics and cronyist maneuvering, the man himself isa symbol of much that is good. As...
Samuel Gregg: Fear and Loathing Stalk the West
Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg, writing for The American Spectator, looks at the telltale signs of a great civilization in decline. Many of us think of civilizational failure in terms of a society’s inability to withstand sudden external encounters. The sun-worshiping human-sacrificing slave-owning Aztec world, for instance, quickly crumbled before Hernán Cortés, a handful of Spanish conquistadors, and his native allies, and, perhaps above all, European-borne diseases. Given enough violence, superior technology, and the will to use it, an entire...
Radio Free Acton: The Conservative Heart With Arthur Brooks
It’s always a pleasure when Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise es to town; he’s an engaging speaker, a thoughtful leader, and really an all around fantastic guy. That’s why it was such a privilege to sit down with him last week in the Acton Studios after he delivered his latest Acton Lecture Series Address last Thursday to record this week’s edition of Radio Free Acton. We talked about the message of conservatism, how it often gets bogged down...
