Bible Verse of the Day
Jun 15, 2025 11:04 AM

　　Luke 12:48 In-Context

　　46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

　　47 "The servant who knows the master's will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.

　　48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

　　49 "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

　　50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

Subsidiarity, Community and Moussaka
Greece is, economically, a mess. With a youth unemployment rate exceeding 65 percent, leaving two-thirds of the nation’s young people unable to find a job, there is not much to celebrate in a country where family life – like many cultures – revolves around meals. Greece is also facing a sharp decline in population. Here is a story of what happens when people who love to cook, but have no one to cook for, meet people who love to eat,...

Corporate Political Spending Report a Tool for Business Bullies
The 2013 “CPA-Zicklin Index of Corporate Policy Accountability and Disclosure” was issued Tuesday by the allegedly “nonpartisan” Center for Corporate Political Accountability – the “CPA” of the report’s title lest readers mistakenly read it as the objective analysis of a certified public accountant. The CPA referenced here is the organization operated by Bruce Freed, which shepherds proxy shareholder resolutions by left leaning “religious” shareholder activist groups as As You Sow and the Interfaith Council on Corporate Responsibility. I haven’t taken...
Why It’s Better That More Women Than Men Live in Poverty

Spiritual Capital and Social Justice
The Chi Rho symbol, pictured here from the Book of Kells, is a traditional abbreviation of the Greek word “Christos” or Christ. Today at Ethika Politika, I examine the connection between the spiritual practice of meditation — the Jesus Prayer in particular — and justice: If we take justice to mean “to render to each what is due,” we may have some understanding of how this relates. Practice of the Jesus Prayer increases focus and builds a habit that helps...
Sachs Misses The Civil Society Mark (Again)
Over at the New York Times, economist Jeffrey Sachs opines about the need for greater measures to “end poverty” in countries across the world where people are truly suffering. Using data from the World Bank, Sachs reports that the proportion of households in developing countries below the extreme-poverty line has declined sharply from 52 percent in 1980, to 43 percent in 1990, 34 percent in 1999, and 21 percent in 2010. Sachs then explains what is needed in order for...
Samuel Gregg: The Jesuit, Pope Francis and The Poor
Acton’s Director of Research, Samuel Gregg, offers some fresh thoughts on Pope Francis today at Crisis Magazine. Gregg points out that there has been much talk about “poverty” and the “poor” since the election of Pope Francis, but that this is nothing new in the Catholic Church. …Francis isn’t the first to have used the phrase “a poor church of the poor.” It’s also been employed in a positive fashion by figures ranging from the father of liberation theology, Gustavo...
Millennials, Vocation, and the Challenge of Economic Change
Earlier this week, Michael Hendrix offered some mentary on the economic future of millennials, fearing that many in our generation are in a similar position as “the horse at the advent of the automobile.” The economic horizon is shifting, and with such e new opportunities. Yet rather than being energized and agile in response, many are content to simply shrug and plod along. As Hendrix concludes, there’s hope in the reality that we are not horses, but creative, spiritual beings,...
