　　Commentary on Today's Verse

　　Commentary on Proverbs 11:9

　　(Read Proverbs 11:9)

　　Hypocrites delude men into error and sin by artful objections against the truths of God's word.

　　Proverbs 11:9 In-Context

　　7 Hopes placed in mortals die with them; all the promise ofTwo Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts, Vulgate, Syriac and Targum "When the wicked die, their hope perishes;" / "all they expected from" their power comes to nothing.

　　8 The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.

　　9 With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.

　　10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

　　11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.

Biden’s ‘stimulus’ for a growing economy is all about central control
President Biden wants to pump nearly $2 trillion more into the U.S. economy under the guise of “economic stimulus.” But the country’s economy has already been growing for months, proving that American politicians have adopted the term “stimulus” for a new regime of spending programs that drive up debt needlessly, taking a page out of Xi Jinping playbook. Read More… Proposals for “economic stimulus”, the use of monetary or fiscal policy to stimulate the economy, have e a permanent fixture...
John Paul II on work, socialism, and liberalism
This year marks the 30th anniversary of John Paul II’s important encyclical, Centesimus Annus. While the average lay person might not pay attention to formal pronouncements by the Roman Catholic Church, papal encyclicals are significant in their affirmation of the church’s social doctrine. Of course, Protestants have no such magisterium to which they might appeal, and it goes without saying that there exists no such thing as “Protestant social teaching.” Given the importance of the Christian church’s unity and its...
Examining the moral basis of Pope Francis’ pleas for financial regulation – and the morality of ‘speculation’
As Pope Francis recognizes, speculation is part-and-parcel of the modern economic world. He also plainly believes that it is subject to the demands of morality and justice. The question thus es: How do we judge whether any act of speculation is right and just, or wrong and unjust? Read More… In his Prayer Intentions for May 2021, Pope Francis is asking that Catholics pray for strict regulation of financial markets to protect the poor. But is strict government oversight what...
Goodbye to the Acton Institute
As a member of the clergy with multiple secular jobs, things are always hectic. I’ve decided I must step away from my work with the Acton Institute beginning the first week of May and, I’m sad to say, this marks my final new blog for the Acton Institute. (A few more entries will appear next week, as will some articles for the Spring 2021 issue of Religion & Liberty analyzing the first days of the Biden-Harris administration but – spoiler...
Sen. Tim Scott’s message of redemption resonates
Our weakened state, due to original sin, does not mean that we are wicked, evil, or insignificant. It means that we have a wound—a particular kind of wound that demands a particular kind of medicine. Read More… In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Biden offered a renewed vision of America, claiming a revitalizing economy, a growing distribution of vaccinations, and efforts to end injustice against race and gender identity. His e through hollow as many...
The 3 things you need to make ‘socialism’ work
Occasionally, our antagonists think they have discovered the silver bullet argument in favor of “Christian socialism.” One such apology recently came into my inbox. In its entirety, it read: Acts Chapters 4 and 5 Tell of The Holy Spirits Work with The Apostles to Establish SOCIALISM for The Christian Church…What further proof is needed ??? Recourse to the exceptional model of charity practiced by the early munity in Acts 4:31-35 is as perpetual as it is erroneous. As I’ve noted...
How global leaders used COVID-19 to restrict religious liberty
From violating burial rites to blame-shifting toward religious minorities to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, the pandemic has served as a precursor to all sorts of anti-religious mischief. A new report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedoms shows how religious freedoms have been curtailed across the world. Read More… COVID-19 has posed unique challenges to religious liberty across the United States, spurring politicians to impose public health measures that restricted in-person worship services.

A silver lining in the Golden State’s school shutdowns
What happens in California doesn’t tend to stay in California – and that’s usually bad for America. For instance, “55% of all public school students, including those in charter schools, were at home, in distance learning, as of April 30, according to an EdSource analysis of new data released by the state.” However, a new and growing parental rights movement in the state is making headlines, creating change, and forging a national push for the nation’s still-shuttered schools to reopen...

Birth rates are in free fall across the Western world, spurred along by plex web of factors, from increases in economic prosperity and egalitarianism to declines in religiosity to idols of choice and convenience.
