On Monday, June 26, the Washington Examinerpublished an article by Ryan Lovelace titled “Conservatives cheer Gorsuch amid flurry of decisions on final day of Supreme Court term.” After concurring with Chief Justice John Roberts on Trinity Lutheran v. Comer, a 7-2 decisionin favor of a church preschool in Missouri,Justice Neil Gorsuch leaves his firsttwo months inthe high court with the approval of many conservatives.

In the article, Joe Carter, a senior editor at the Acton Institute, applauds Gorsuch:

In his first concurring opinion for the court, Gorsuch has established himself as a champion of religious freedom, and a justice willing to place limits on the power of the state … By taking such a bold stand he’s showing he may be the worthy successor to the great Justice Scalia we’ve been hoping for.

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 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...

Away from me, you evildoers!'   24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 1 John 3:16-21   (Read 1 John 3:16-21)   Here is the condescension, the miracle, the mystery of Divine love, that God would redeem the church with his own blood. Surely we should love those whom God has loved, and so loved. The Holy Spirit, grieved at selfishness, will leave the selfish heart without comfort, and...
Verse of the Day
  Romans 4:25 In-Context   23 The words it was credited to him were written not for him alone,   24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness-for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.   25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. ...
Verse of the Day
  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...
