  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.

‘Mission Accomplished’?
“The mission in Iraq may be on the way to being plished…” So says Bartle Bull in Prospect magazine (HT). Maybe we should start thinking of the first declaration of “mission plished” (May 1, 2003, pictured above) as a sort of D-Day, and the imminent(?) “mission plished” as a sort of V-E Day (that’s also mon analogy used to describe the “already/not yet” dynamic of the times between Christ’s first and ing.) See also, “Democracy in Iraq.” ...
Global Warming Consensus Alert: Points for Honesty
Normally, I’m not a huge fan of Congressman John Dingell. But on this issue, I have to at least give him points for honesty: Democrats took over Congress vowing to make global warming a top priority, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned to notch a quick victory with a bill that was long on political symbolism and cost, if short on actual emissions reductions. Standing in her way has been Mr. Dingell. Much to the speaker’s consternation, the powerful chairman...
Un-Christian Retributiveness
How’s this for an expression of un-Christian retributiveness? If God wants to make my plete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before their death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one’s enemies – but not before they have been hanged. –Heinrich Heine, Gedanken und Überlegungen; quoted and translated in Freud,...
Global Warming Consensus Alert: Gore Snubbed by Nobel Committee!
In a stunning turn of events, the Nobel Committee failed to award a Nobel Prize for Science to Al Gore, instead opting to present him with the Peace Prize despite the scant evidence that his recent climate change-related activities have contributed anything to the advancement of global peace. The award can be seen as something of a consolation prize for Gore, however, as in recent days even the British judicial system has ruled that “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore’s global warming...
The Nobel Peace Prize has lost all pretense to objectivity
Truth is definitely stranger than fiction, with Gore and the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sharing this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. In recent years, the Nobel Committee has shown itself more and more willing to name the Peace prize for political reasons. In awarding Al Gore and the IPCC the Peace Prize, however, the Nobel Committee has lost all pretense to objectivity. Not only are Al Gore and the IPCC shamelessly partisan choices, but also irrelevant ones. Whatever one...
As if by an Occult Hand…
Freemasonry has been deemed to be worthy of protection under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA). Does this mean that freemasonry is a “religion”? A California court of appeals statement said in part, “We see no principled way to distinguish the earnest pursuit of these (Masonic) principles … from more widely acknowledged modes of religious exercise.” That’s a stance the Christian Reformed Church would probably agree with. As I’ve noted before, the CRC’s position on...
Saving Secular Society
I used to have more regular and extensive interaction with people whose worldviews were starkly different from my own. That’s not so much the case anymore, so it’s good to be reminded occasionally that some people live in different worlds that are sometimes hard prehend. That happened today when I came across an announcment for a conference, “The Secular Society and Its Enemies.” In the strange universe in which the conference’s organizers live, “The world is finally waking up to...
David (McCarty) vs. Goliath
Well…except Goliath is mostly a good guy too– and he’s the one putting rocks in the air– and David got beat in this case by the government. From yesterday’s (Louisville) Courier-Journal, Charlie White and Sara Cunningham report on the stand-off between homeowner David McCarty and the local Wal-Mart under construction in Lebanon, KY. Complying with a court order, a Central Kentucky man yesterday ended his sit-down protest a few feet from a blasting site — part of the construction of...
The Weekly Standard, AFR, and “The Call of the Entrepreneur”
Sonny Bunch reviewed “The Call of the Entrepreneur” and discussed the significance of the American Film Renaissance (AFR) in The Weekly Standard. His article is titled, “The Right Stuff: Conservatives decide if you can’t beat Hollywood, join it.” In his piece, Bunch discussed the goals of AFR: AFR has been hosting film festivals across the country since 2004, but the Hubbards hope to set up permanent shop in Washington and push the festival into the mainstream. Jim Hubbard says he...
Islam’s Quiet Revolution
Society is changing as economic freedom and diversification gradually creep into the Middle East. Dr. Samuel Gregg, director of research at the Acton Institute, explores the effects of free trade on nations including Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates and, in turn, the effect those nations are having on their neighbors. The diversification of economies, notably the development of new products and services for export, allows nations to grow out of reliance on oil production as the main...
