  1 Corinthians 6:9-10 In-Context

  7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

  8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.

  9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with menThe words "men who have sex with men" translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.

  10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

  11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

  12 "I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything.

Why gratitude is the key to happiness
The one thing all humans have mon is that each of us wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk and interfaith scholar. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. Steindl-Rast explains why the master-key to happiness is being grateful for the gifts we’ve been given. ...
French protesters demand: ‘Death to taxes’
As satiated Americans gathered around their Thanksgiving tables to count their blessings, incensed protesters gathered in roadways and intersections across France to count the cost of Emmanuel Macron’s punishing gas taxes. A leaderless rebellion propelled hundreds of thousands of people into the streets – on foot, of course – and made France perhaps the least likely site in the world to see citizens demand, “Death to taxes.” That was one of the phrases emblazoned on placards held aloft by the...

What you should know about cyclical unemployment
Note: This is post #102 in a weekly video series on basic economics. Cyclical unemployment is a type of unemployment that is connected to the regular ups and downs—the cyclical trends in growth and recession—that occur within the business cycle. One factor that affects cyclical unemployment is “sticky wages.” As Alex Tabarrok of Marginal Revolution University explains, wages often adjust more slowly after an economic contraction, which in turn reduces an employer’s incentive to hire. Other factors affecting wage adjustment...
On #GivingTuesday, avoid benevolent harm
Everyone is familiar with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now in its seventh year, #GivingTuesday has also e a permanent and popular fixture in the post-Thanksgiving landscape. #GivingTuesday occurs on the Tuesday immediately after Thanksgiving. On this special day people are encouraged to donate their money toward charitable causes. The official website for #GivingTuesday states that it “is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.” #GivingTuesday has been astonishingly successful. Last year it...
Can private charity replace the social safety net?
After Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber es Giving Tuesday. The Tuesday following Thanksgiving has e the unofficial launch of the charitable season, when many people around the globe focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. The outpouring of generosity during the giving season raises the question of why all charity can’t be funded privately. Do we even need agovernment social safety net anymore? Before we can answer that question we must first determine the replacement cost of the...
On #GivingTuesday, avoid benevolent harm
Now that the giving season is upon us we should ask, says Andrew Vanderput in this week’s Acton Commentary, “How can one’s charity actually undermine the causes or people they mean to champion?” When charity is defined as “willing the good of the other,” it ought to necessitate that more reflection and thought be given towards the practical effects of one’s charitable acts. To will the good of the other goes far beyond a sugar high feeling after a donate...
Gratitude: The heart of capitalism
As we gather around our Thanksgiving tables with our loved ones, we’re reminded of the imperative of gratitude. Counting our blessings is an integral part of the Christian life and increasingly recognized by science as having physical and psychological benefits. But does our economic system of free enterprise undermine our ability to give thanks? Prevailing wisdom has long held that capitalism feeds discontent. New products continually debut, provoking new desires and making consumers dissatisfied with their passé – but perfectly...
When Black Friday rolls around: A pastor’s perspective
There are several of verses that put me in a critical mood when es to Black Friday and, to a lesser extent, Cyber Monday: Exodus 20:17, Luke 12:15, Psalm 37:21, and Proverbs 22:7, to name a few. In the United States, these are days devoted to shopping for holiday presents—especially Christmas. Black Friday in particular is filled with unusual consumerist antics: waking up incredibly early to wait in line at the opening of stores to secure better prices and deals,...
