　　Commentary on Proverbs 18:12

　　(Read Proverbs 18:12)

　　After the heart has been lifted up with pride, a fall comes. But honour shall be the reward of humility.

　　Proverbs 18:12 In-Context

　　10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.

　　11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

　　12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.

　　13 To answer before listening- that is folly and shame.

　　14 The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

Samuel Gregg on the Supreme Court and the Individual Mandate
In response to the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare’a individual mandate, National Review Online launched a symposium — a roundup mentary — which posed the following question: “What’s next for both conservatives and the Republican party on health-care reform?” Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg contributed this analysis: Leaving aside the arguments that will continue about the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare, one response of those who favor free markets and limited government must be for them to start preparing themselves for...
Samuel Gregg: The Prophet of Europe’s Crisis
Online today at The American Spectator is an article from Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg. The article highlights the forethought of German economist Wilhelm Röpke, who predicted Europe’s present economic downturn in the middle of the twentieth century. Röpke, Gregg says, was a “euroskeptic” before the term existed. Excerpt here: Where Röpke proved correct was in envisaging that efforts to impose European political integration from the top-down would go hand-in-hand with attempts to replicate large welfare systems and extensive regulation...
Initial Thoughts on the ‘Obamacare’ Decision
Obviously many people are disappointed in the Supreme Court’s ruling today. The decision was rather surprising for a number of legal and political reasons. Writing about the HHS mandate in an mentary in January, Dr. Donald P. Condit pointed to the moral threat that his health care legislation poses. Nothing has changed with today’s Supreme Court ruling. Condit wrote: With the passing of time, it has e painfully obvious how relativistic and clouded are this administration’s sense of ethics. The...
Growing Weary and Losing Heart
Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Is it possible to sow, toil and work only to lose heart and not reap any reward? Can all of our effort be lost simply by getting tired and giving up? If this is true, then it is imperative that we figure out how to not grow weary or lose heart while we are On...
Obamacare ruling ‘a turn to tyranny’
Fr. Hans JacobseOn the Observer blog (and picked up on Catholic Online), Antiochian Orthodox priest Fr. Hans Jacobse predicts that the Supreme Court’s Obamacare ruling will, “by the middle of the next generation” lead those who worked for this program — or ignored the threat — to be “cursed” by their own children. “The children will weep by the waters of Babylon, unearthing old movies and books of an America they never knew,” Jacobse writes. Antonio Gramsci, that great architect...
Feeding the Poor, Bureaucracy Style
From es this tragic headline: As India’s kids starve, $1.5 billion worth of grain rots How does a country have starving people while it is producing so much food that it is literally rotting from being left outside in the open? The depressing answer is that it’s the result of government intervention in the agricultural market. The article from MSNBC goes on to detail how government policies produce too much grain relative to other agricultural products such as fresh fruits...
Bastiat’s Vision
This Saturday, June 30, is the 211th birthday of Frédéric Bastiat, one of the greatest political philosophers of the modern era. Considered among the founding fathers of classical liberalism, Bastiat is known for his simple and direct explanations of political and economic realities, his arguments against oppressive economic regulations and his clear and concise vision of a government of limited, enumerated powers, operating under the rule of law and unencumbered by favoritism or distributionist policies. Bastiat drew on his Catholic...
The Debt-ridden American Dream
Fresh out of college and full of ideals, young Americans are finding that, in this economy, the American es at a steep cost. Just ask Michelle Holshue: At 30 years old, Holshue exemplifies a key tenet of the American dream: exceeding one’s parents’ education and e. “My dad never finished high school,” she says. “So in that sense, I am doing better than my parents did.” Holshue’s father is a school bus driver, and her mother, a teacher. At this...
The True Social Contract
Uncontrolled public debt threatens to rupture society, says Niall Ferguson, as the older generation thrives at the expense of the young. In his Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), Edmund Burke wrote that the real social contract is not Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s contract between the sovereign and the people or “general will”, but the “partnership” between the generations. He writes: “SOCIETY is indeed a contract… The state … is … a partnership not only between those who are living, but...
‘We didn’t pick the time, nor did we pick the fight’
Most Rev. Joseph F. Naumann, D.D., Archbishop of Kansas City, Kansas On Catholic World Report, Carl E. Olson interviews Rev. Joseph F. Naumann, the Archbishop of Kansas City, Kansas, about the HHS mandate, the Ryan budget, and what the Supreme Court ruling means for the religious freedom fight. “There are always some people who feel that the Church is ing partisan and political in this,” Archbishop Naumann said, referring to a collective response to the HHS mandate covering provision of...
