  Commentary on Proverbs 22:4

  Read Proverbs 22:4

  Where the fear of God is, there will be humility. And much is to be enjoyed by it spiritual riches, and eternal life at last.

  Proverbs 22:4 In-Context

  2 Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all.

  3 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

  4 Humility is the fear of the Lord its wages are riches and honor and life.

  5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls, but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

  6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Chile in flames
It’s been a good week for the left throughout Latin America. In Columbia, center-left and left-wing parties did well in regional election. Argentina also took a left-turn with a left-wing Peronist easily winning the presidency, and bringing the former president Cristina Kirchner back to office as Vice-President. In Bolivia, long-serving left-populist president Evo Morales looks as if he is going to get away with stealing an election. Events in Chile are also a cause for concern. What started as a...
Thomistic Institute Aquinas 101
The Thomistic Institute has a new video series introducing the work of St. Thomas Aquinas called Aquinas 101. The videos are well done, concise, and clear, and if you are looking for an introduction to St. Thomas, this is a good place to start. I started showing it to my older children, and they liked it. The videos begin with an introduction to Aquinas and address some of his key ideas. People often feel daunted by the idea of reading...
What Elizabeth Warren could learn from Emmanuel Macron
A cartoon published just after the fall of the Berlin Wall showed two travelers moving in different directions, one personifying former Eastern Bloc nations and the other the NATO allies: The two met as the former Warsaw Pact countries rushed away from socialism and the West hurried toward it. Soon, those characters could symbolize France and the United States. Indeed, today, our two nations could be represented by two specific people: Emmanuel Macron and Elizabeth Warren. James C. Capretta of...

Commemorating two genocides: Armenian and Communist
Halloween may be fast upon us, but October 29 and 30 have marked the memorations of the year. In the last two days, the world has belatedly remembered the genocide of Armenian Christians and the brutal repression of all dissidents by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Last night, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 296, a bill “recognizing and condemning the Armenian Genocide, the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923.” (Only...

In a new short film from Voice of the Martyrs, we get a small glimpse of this reality...

Benjamin Franklin’s advice on the Chicago schools strike
Their last remaining dispute in the Chicago schools strike could be resolved if both sides understood a basic economic concept taught by one of the nation’s Founding Fathers. Although the Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Teachers Union announced a tentative agreement Wednesday evening, the Second City’s 300,000-plus students still began their eleventh day outside the classroom Thursday, because the CTU added a new demand Wednesday night.
