  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 big ideas of trade
Note: This is post #31 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Trade makes people better off, but how? In this video economist Tyler Cowen discuss the importance of specialization and division of knowledge, and how specialization leads to improvements in knowledge, which then lead to improvements in productivity.

Why it matters how ex-presidents make their money

The two-fold ministry of Jesus
“Jesus not only sought to bring a spiritual salvation,” says Abraham Kuyper in this week’s Acton Commentary, “but also countered human misery and did so up until the very end.” He fed the thousands and healed the sick; the blind could see, the mute could speak, and the dead were raised. This was in no way just a peripheral matter for him, as is proved in that, when John the Baptist investigated his messiahship, Jesus did not tell his messengers...
