  1 Corinthians 10:12 In-Context

  10 And do not grumble, as some of them did-and were killed by the destroying angel.

  11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.

  12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

  13 No temptationThe Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be temptedThe Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,The Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

  14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.

The Christian Post Highlights Wisdom & Wonder
In The Christian Post, Napp Nazworth profiles Wisdom & Wonder: Common Grace in Science & Art. The article looks at the power the Abraham Kuyper translation project will have in transforming the way evangelicals engage the broader culture. Acton’s director of programs and international Stephen Grabill spoke with The Christian Post: While some evangelicals have grown appalled by the increased political activism of their brethren and withdrawn from politics, others have e so deeply tied to partisan and national loyalties...
‘Ultimately, all leadership is local’
Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, has launched a new Center for Leadership which university alumnus Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., lauds as a project that “roots young men and women in virtue, forms them as leaders, and grounds them in sound philosophical thought.” David Schmiesing, who directs the center and is also vice president of student life at Steubenville, said, “This is our most explicit and focused effort yet to train leaders for the Church and world.” One of the resources...
Calvin Coolidge and the Commercial Spirit
Calvin Coolidge quipped shortly before his death, “I feel I no longer fit in with these times.” The words came not long before FDR’s ascendency to the presidency and not long after the upsurge of government activism that started in the Herbert Hoover administration. Coolidge, even for his time, was seen as old fashioned, a throw back to simpler values, ethics, and principles. Coolidge cut the name tags out of his suits when he asked his wife to resale them,...
Natural Law and the Rule of Law
David Theroux of the Independent Institute concludes his two-part article on “secular theocracy” here (the full article can be read here). In this second part, Theroux observes that “C.S. Lewis understood that natural law applies toallhuman behavior including government officials.” Indeed, it is hard to see how the rule of law can function apart from a conception of the natural law. Now as Theroux shows, not just any conception of the natural law will do. It has to be one...
Uncommon Acts of Common Grace
In connection with the current Acton Commentary, over the last week I’ve been looking at what I call the “the overlap and varieties of these biblical terms” like ministry, service, and stewardship. As Scot McKnight notes in his recent book, The King Jesus Gospel: The Original Good News Revisited, the theme of stewardship is absolutely central to the biblical message. In his summary of the gospel toward the conclusion of the book, he begins this way: In the beginning God....

Kuyper, Coffee & Markets
I had the pleasure of being a guest on today’s installment of Coffee & Markets, the fine podcast hosted by Kevin Holtsberry and Pejman Yousefzadeh. I got to talk about Abraham Kuyper and his essays mon grace, particularly in the areas of science and art. These essays are available in translation in Wisdom & Wonder: Common Grace in Science & Art, the first selection from the broader three-volume Common Grace translation project. Check out the podcast and some related links...
Looking Back at the 1976 North Carolina Primary
With media attention focused on the Republican presidential primaries and how the race could change as it moves South, I thought it would be good to add an update to my 2007 post, “The Spirit of 76: Reagan Style.” The Mark Levin Show linked to the piece yesterday, helping to motivate me to add a few additional thoughts and highlight a newer article on that race. In my original post, I noted the deep influence former North Carolina Senator Jesse...
Millennials Embrace the Entrepreneurial Vocation
A recent study by Millennial Branding reveals that “Owner” is the fifth most popular job title [listed on Facebook] for Gen-Y [i.e., Millennials] because they are an entrepreneurial generation. Even though most of panies won’t succeed, they are demonstrating an unprecedented entrepreneurial spirit. The study does not speculate on the causes of this upsurge in enterprise and creativity among 18-29 year-olds, but no doubt “Mother Necessity” has her hand in it somewhere. Our country and world are facing serious financial...
New Kim, Same Old Korea
One month ago today, the people of North Korea learned that their Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il, had died. While the news triggered hysterical shock in Pyongyang, the event brought new hope to those who work hard to penetrate North Korea’s hermetic society. One after another, many of these NGOs and ministries released statements postulating that maybe, just maybe, Kim’s youngest son and anointed heir—Jong-un—would break with family tradition by promoting genuine liberty for his people. Such hopes are certainly understandable....
