“Do voters have a mitment problem’ with Bernie Sanders?” asks Dylan Pahman in this week’s Acton Commentary.

So why would someone who seems really to want to be President (unlike candidates who appear to be using their campaigns to promote a book, for example) tell Americans he’s a socialist when half the country says they wouldn’t vote for one? How does that serve his interest? Shouldn’t it hurt his electability?

Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Matthew 6:25-34   (Read Matthew 6:25-34)   There is scarcely any sin against which our Lord Jesus more warns his disciples, than disquieting, distracting, distrustful cares about the things of this life. This often insnares the poor as much as the love of wealth does the rich. But there is a carefulness about temporal things which...

  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Ephesians 5:1-2   (Read Ephesians 5:1-2)   Because God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven you, therefore be ye followers of God, imitators of God.

  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Romans 3:19-20   (Read Romans 3:19-20)   It is in vain to seek for justification by the works of the law. All must plead guilty. Guilty before God, is a dreadful word; but no man can be justified by a law which condemns him for breaking it. The corruption in our nature, will for ever stop...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 1 Peter 4:7-11   (Read 1 Peter 4:7-11)   The destruction of the Jewish church and nation, foretold by our Saviour, was very near. And the speedy approach of death and judgment concerns all, to which these words naturally lead our minds. Our approaching end, is a powerful argument to make us sober in all worldly...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Romans 5:1-5   (Read Romans 5:1-5)   A blessed change takes place in the sinner's state, when he becomes a true believer, whatever he has been. Being justified by faith he has peace with God. The holy, righteous God, cannot be at peace with a sinner, while under the guilt of sin. Justification takes away the...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Habakkuk 3:1-2   (Read Habakkuk 3:1-2)   The word prayer seems used here for an act of devotion. The Lord would revive his work among the people in the midst of the years of adversity. This may be applied to every season when the church, or believers, suffer under afflictions and trials. Mercy is what we...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Luke 2:8-20   (Read Luke 2:8-20)   Angels were heralds of the new-born Saviour, but they were only sent to some poor, humble, pious, industrious shepherds, who were in the business of their calling, keeping watch over their flock. We are not out of the way of Divine visits, when we are employed in an honest...
Verse of the Day
  Joshua 22:5 In-Context   3 For a long time now-to this very day-you have not deserted your fellow Israelites but have carried out the mission the Lord your God gave you.   4 Now that the Lord your God has given them rest as he promised, return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you...
Verse of the Day
  1 John 4:18 In-Context   16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.   17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus....
