  Isaiah 61:7 In-Context

  5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

  6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.

  7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

  8 For I, the Lord, love justice I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.

  9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.

How Much Profit Do You Think Corporations Earn?
“Someday this will all be yours,” I said, waving my hand across the aisles of the Piggly Wiggly. I was trying to ingratiate myself with my boss, the general manager for the biggest grocery store in Clarksville, Texas. He just smirked and shook his head. “For every dollar in sales, how much do you think this stores earns in profit?” At the time I was taking high school economics and considered myself something of a financial savant because I knew...
University Of Hawaii Risks Teen Lives In Abortion ‘Study’
The Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children at the University of Hawaii is recruiting teens and women to study the effects of second trimester abortions. Girls as young as 14 are being sought so that researchers can carry out a ‘randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials,’ to determine the effect of oxytocin’s use on uterine bleeding, meaning that they will either provide or deny intravenous oxytocin to the women. Reports suggest that some doctors are concerned that withholding oxytocin during surgery...
How Minimum Wage Laws Are Like Geocentrism
Geocentrism was the belief that the sun, the planets, and all the stars revolve around the Earth. The alternative view—heliocentricism—had been around since the 3 BC but was not taken seriously until the 16th century AD. What seems obvious to us now was a matter of heated debated for almost two thousand years. EconomistDon Boudreaux says theminimum-wage debate in economics is rather like the reverse of this debate that took place centuries ago among astronomers. In astronomy, the standard, mistaken...
The Moral Importance of Profits
Yesterday I noted how Americans tend to overestimate the amount of profit earned by corporations. The actual profit margins are so thin that, as Mark J. Perry points out, for the pany all sales revenue from January 1 to December 7 would go to cover the firm’s expenses for the year, and its sales on roughly the last 24 days of December from December 8 to December 31 would represent its profits. For the other industries displayed in the table...
Sustainability and Anarchy
The fossil-fuel sustainability and divestment movements began with colleges and universities. Over the past two years, the movements have gained momentum from faith-based activists intent on stranding oil, coal and natural gas in the ground. At the same time, they’re pressing their munities to endorse impossible fossil fuel reduction goals. Progressives in the sustainability and divestment movements must assume that if Big Oil is brought to heel, then Big Renewable will immediately fill the void. Never mind that there exists...
Pizza, Pluralism, and the Rise of the Conformity Mob
Amidst the hubbub surrounding Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the owners of Memories Pizza, a local family-owned restaurant, have been the first to bear the wrath of the latest conformity mob. We knew e, of course. “They” being fresh off the sport of strong-arming boutique bakeries and shuttering the shop doors of grandmother florists(all in the name of “social justice,” mind you). The outrage is rather predictable these days, and not just on issuesas hot and contentious as this. pany...
Fighting Human Trafficking Through Technology
For those fighting human trafficking, the battle is frustrating. Traffickers are typically one step ahead of law enforcement, and they are quite tech-savvy. Microsoft, along with other panies, is trying to change that. According to Microsoft’s A. T. Ball: Human trafficking is one of the largest, best-organized and most profitable types of crime, ranking behind only the illegal weapons and drug trades. It violates numerous national and international laws and has ensnared more than 25 million people around the world....
Music Box: A Parable on Finding Joy at Work (and in Life)
When struggling with “work that wounds”— work that’s “cross-bearing, self-denying, and life-sacrificing,” as Lester DeKoster describes it — we can content ourselves by remembering that God is with us in the workplace and our work has meaning. But althoughthese truths are powerful, God has not left us withonlyhead knowledge andphilosophical upgrades. When we give our lives to Christ and choose a path of transformation and obedience, the fruits of the Spirit will manifest in real and tangible ways, despite our...
