　　Commentary on Today's Verse

　　Commentary on Psalm 32:8-11

　　(Read Psalm 32:8-11)

　　God teaches by his word, and guides with the secret intimations of his will. David gives a word of caution to sinners. The reason for this caution is, that the way of sin will certainly end in sorrow. Here is a word of comfort to saints. They may see that a life of communion with God is far the most pleasant and comfortable. Let us rejoice, O Lord Jesus, in thee, and in thy salvation; so shall we rejoice indeed.

　　Psalm 32:10 In-Context

　　8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

　　9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

　　10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.

　　11 Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Over at the Federalist, Gracy Olmstead wonders “what happens when people bring the country to the city?” She goes on to argue that “urban farming could have conservative implications and outworkings—and we should encourage these endeavors as much as possible, in our efforts to bring traditional principles back to urban environments.” Is there a way to bring the city mouse and the country mousetogether? I’ve argued for the need for urban farming initiatives in the context of renewal movements in...
The Deep, Dark Web: Like Cockroaches, Human Traffickers Prefer The Dark
Maybe you’ve heard of the “Dark Web,” but aren’t sure exactly what it is. Maybe you don’t know anything about the Dark Web. Let’s begin by saying it’s aptly named. And as dark as it is, we need to know about it. The term “Dark Web” (or Dark Internet) refers to areas of the Internet that are no longer accessible, or that have “gone dark” – i.e. dead ends. This happens when Internet routers stop referencing parts of the Internet,...
When is a Self-Described Libertarian Not a Libertarian?
A new report by the Pew Research Center finds that about one-in-ten Americans describe themselves as libertarian — and yet hold views that do not differ much from those of the overall public. As Pew’s Jocelyn Kiley says, “Self-described libertarians tend to be modestly more supportive of some libertarian positions, but few of them hold consistent libertarian opinions on the role of government, foreign policy and social issues.” Overall, 11 percent of Americans describe themselves as libertarian and have a...
Great Britain is Poorer Than Every US State
At the height of power, circa 1922, the British Empire was the largest empire in history, covering one-fifth of the world’s population and almost a quarter of the earth’s total land area. Yet almost one hundred years later, Great Britain is not so great, having lost much of its previous economic and political dominance. In fact, if Great Britain were to join the United States, it’d be poorer than any of the other 50 states — including our poorest state,...
Which Inequality? Trends Toward Equality in Lifespans and Education
Earlier this month, I wrote a two part article for the Library of Law & Liberty, critiquing the uncritical condemnation of e inequality by world religious leaders. In part 1, I pointed out that “while the Pope, the Patriarch, the Dalai Lama, and others are right about the increase in [global e] inequality, they are wrong to conclude that this causes global poverty—the latter is demonstrably on the decline. And that, I would add, is a good thing.” F. A....

Actress Fails Logic: Pink T-shirts, Sexism And Hobby Lobby
Despite my esteemed background in high school drama (I starred in several productions), I don’t critique acting, except over the water cooler. I don’t have a clue what it takes to make a movie, let alone make a movie well. I assume Scarlett Johansson does, as she’s made a number of them. But clearly, Ms. Johansson doesn’t do so well with logic. Ms. Johansson has designed t-shirts for Planned Parenthood. The hot pink t’s feature a cartoon male on the...
Some Thoughts on Economic Patriotism
Sic semper tyrannis, eh? The Burger King acquisition of Tim Hortons and the resulting plans to move the corporate headquarters under the taxing authority of the Canadian government is being derided by some as unpatriotic. This is the latest in a long string of similar phenomena over the last decade or so, as we see patriotic loyalty (or the lack thereof) ing a political issue in the context of offshoring, globalization, outsourcing, and so on. A response to the charge...
Pray and Labor?
“The Church fathers, East and West, have a long tradition that affirms the value of human labor,” writes Acton’s Dylan Pahman at Humane Pursuits. “And their reflections on the subject contain depths of insight still relevant for those of us who live in “the world” today, such as how to find meaning in whatever work one may do.” On the one hand, plenty of people may not see even a little lasting good in their job. The average factory worker,...
