  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.

  15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

  16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

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

Toiling for Pharaoh
My friend John Teevan of Grace College sends out a monthly newsletter, “Economic Prospect.” He passes along this in the current edition: I found this note from a newly retired accountant (age 66) who has not gone on social security yet. His e as a part-time accountant in his town was $60,000. “My e is $60,000 and my IRS taxes are 10,000, my FICA deduction is $8,000, my state e tax is $2500, and my property tax is $6000. So...
Hey, Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone (During P.E.)
If you’re a gradeschooler you’re probably sitting in a classroom right now thinking there’s no way teachers could possibly make school more tedious and boring. Well, I have some bad news for you. According to the New York Times, you may soon be studying the periodic table while playing dodgeball: Ms. Patelsky, the physical education teacher at Everglades Elementary School here, instructed the students to count by fours as they touched their elbows to their knees during a warm-up. They...
The Image of God and the Dignity of Work
Being made in the image of God, says Art Lindsley, is a powerful concept for finding our vocations and living a purposeful life. While the image of God remains after the Fall, it is certainly marred and defaced. As we are redeemed, what will we look like when the process pleted? As God restores us, our unique design in the image of God will shine even more brightly, and our gifts will reach their full potential. We will also look...
How to Become Pope

What You Can Do Right Now to Increase Economic Freedom
When we think of the concept “economic freedom” we often think about essential liberties and the factors that make them possible (e.g., free markets, the rule of law, and property rights). But for Christians economic freedom is not an end unto itself but the means for freeing our resources to use in ways that God intends. Being free of the bonds of economic statism is therefore useless if we use our liberty to enslave ourselves. As Kevin DeYoung asks, Do...
Vice, Virtue, and Shareholder Activism
King Louis XIV censored Moliere’s 1664 play Tartuffe after determining audience members might too easily confuse the titular priest’s hypocritical nature with every priest in real life. According to the king, some priests’ “true devotion leads on the path to heaven,” while others’ “vain ostentation of some good works does not prevent mitting some bad ones.” The king’s judgment in many ways also describes individuals who pursue their religious vocations while simultaneously championing secular causes such as proxy shareholder resolutions....

How Far Does Faith-Based ‘Shareholder Right to Know’ Go?
On January 31, the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility issued a press release, announcing the organization’s “2013 Proxy Resolutions and Voting Guide.” A quick read of the release and ancillary materials, however, reveals that these resolutions have very little to do with issues of religious faith and everything to do with the progressive political agenda. The ICCR guide “features 180 resolutions filed at panies” that call on shareholders to “promote corporate responsibility by voting their proxies in support of investor...
From the Roots of Society to the Fruits of Discipleship
I recently wrote about the need to reach beyond an earthbound economics, re-orienting our thinking around a more transcendent framework that requires active spiritual engagement and discernment. Even as Christians, far too often we set our focus too strongly on temporal features like material needs, happiness, and quality of life—all of e into play accordingly—without first concerning ourselves with what God is actually calling us to do as individuals. Transcendent ends will e from transcendent beginnings, and those beginnings will...
