　　Psalm 27:7,9-10 In-Context

　　5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

　　6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.

　　7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

　　8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, Lord, I will seek.

　　9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior.

　　10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

　　11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.

　　12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.

The shrinking of the administrative state
In just the last year, the regulatory apparatus of the federal government has endured a range of healthy threats and corrections. Approximately1,579 regulatory actions have been withdrawn or delayed, according to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and that wave is set to continue. “Agencies plan to finalize three deregulatory actions for every new regulatory action” this fiscal year, a recent report noted. “We’re here today for one single reason,” said President Trump said last December, holding a pair...
If work is our ‘modern religion,’ leisure is not the cure
Americans are known forworking longer hours and taking less vacation time than their counterparts in the industrialized world. In response, many are quick to decry this fact as evidence of age-old desperation and newfound decadence. If people are working long and hard, there must be problem.But is this the only possible explanation? For Benjamin Hunnicutt, professor of leisure studies at the University of Iowa, the answer is a simple and resounding “yes.” Work has e a “modern religion,” he writes,...
Incredibles 2: Making superheroes great again
I saw Incredibles 2 over the Father’s Day weekend, and just like its predecessor, there’s a lot to ponder beneath the surface of this animated film. In the real world we’ve had to wait 14 years, but the sequel picks up basically where the original left off. As the Rev. Jerry Zandstra wrote of the original, “litigiousness and mediocrity are some of the biggest obstacles in our culture. The propensity to settle every dispute by legal action undermines values, such...
Humanity’s biggest surprise: dematerialization
In 1865, W. Stanley Jevons predicted that with coal reserves of 90 billion tons, England would run out within 100 years. Today, the country has between three trillion and 23 trillion ton,enough to last Britain for centuries. In 1914, the Bureau of Mines fretted that with a total future production limit of 5.7 billion barrels, the U.S. only had about a ten-year supply of oil. Today, a hundred years later, we’re estimated to have36 billion barrels left in the ground....
The Solow model and ideas
Note: This is post #84 in a weekly video series on basic economics. According to previous videos in this series, the Solow model seems to predict that we’ll always end up in a steady state with no economic growth. But, the Solow model still has one variable unaccounted for: ideas. Ideas do one thing really well, says Alex Tabarrok of Marginal Revolution University, they give us more bang for our buck. This means we get more output for the same...
A Samson Option for Ireland’s Catholic hospitals?
National funding of health care has produced a fresh crisis in Europe. Not merely the never-ending “winter crisis” in the NHS each year, but a crisis of conscience for Catholic health care providers. The Republic of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, recognizing the unborn child’s inalienable right to life. With alarming speed, abortion has gone from illegal to mandatory. According to the (UK) Catholic Herald: Ireland’s Taoiseach [Prime Minister] has said that hospitals with...
Daniel Hannan explains why the EU is a hive of corruption
Two paths confront someone faced with an unwanted reality: reform or denial. With a report set to expose persistently high levels of corruption among its member states, the EU chose the latter option, its critics say. EU member states, programs, practices, institutions, and leaders stand accused of everything from bribery to larceny, from rigging the bidding process to influence peddling. Years ago, the mitted to report on, and reform, such practices. Instead, the EU chose to scupper the report. “In...
Berkeley’s ‘mass extinction’ scare just more Malthusian mythology
Too often, environmentalists seem to see humans as a cancer mutilating the earth’s natural splendor, but the idea that fewer people is the solution to the earth’s woes ignores the incredible creative capacity inherent in the human mind. On June 12th, the Berkeley City Council unanimously voted to declare a state of “climate emergency.” The resolution, introduced by Council Member Cheryl Davila, calls for California governments to “initiate a just local, state, national, and global climate emergency mobilization to restore...
Introducing The Good Society
Frequent visitors to this blog know that the Acton Institute is rooted in a mission to promote a free and virtuous society characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles. Over the years, our visitors and supporters have begged for an easy way to share this mission and Acton’s core teachings. Last week, our email subscribers got the first look at our newest short film series meeting that need: the inaugural six episodes of The Good Society. The Good...
The overdue good news Juneteenth
Although bad news travels fast, good news often takes the scenic route. That appears to have been especially true during the Civil War. Although Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation became official on the first day of January 1863, word didn’t arrive in Texas until June 19, 1865. On that day Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed in Galveston with news that the war had ended and that those who were once enslaved were now free. One of Granger’s first...
