  Daily Verse Reflection

  Commentary on Matthew 7:15-20

  (Read Matthew 7:15-20)

  Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Christ, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their doctrines. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin.

  Matthew 7:15 In-Context

  13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

  14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

  17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

Affirmative Action Limits Opportunities For Asian Americans
One of the realities of using race to socially engineer the racial make-up of college freshman classes by elite decision-makers, is that it does nothing but perpetuate the injustice of institutional and planned discrimination. This is the greatest irony of affirmative action education policy. The attempt to redress past injustices does nothing but set the stage for new forms of injustice against other groups. Today, Asian-American high-school students are faced with the reality that, if they are high achievers, top...
Sisters’ Proxy Resolutions Dilute Catholic ‘Brand’
Standing up for religious principles in an increasingly secularized and politicized country has e extremely difficult for religious and clergy.
