  Commentary on Proverbs 17:10

  (Read Proverbs 17:10)

  A gentle reproof will enter, not only into the head, but into the heart of a wise man.

  Proverbs 17:10 In-Context

  8 A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it; they think success will come at every turn.

  9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

  10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person more than a hundred lashes a fool.

  11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God; the messenger of death will be sent against them.

  12 Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.

Sed contra: Taxation is theft
Over at the Libertarian Christian Institute, Jamin Hübner engages my reflection on taxation and Sam Gregg’s book, For God and Profit, with his sed contra: “But what if the ‘taxation is theft’ creed is consistent with both Christian and libertarian ideas, and that all things considered, taxation really is theft? And what if we’re simply misreading or misappropriating the New Testament? This wouldn’t be fortable or popular conclusion to draw, but it might be the case nevertheless.” Hübner accuses me...

Principles for a Christian understanding of economics
Many Christians assume that the Bible has nothing at all to say about economics, says Albert Mohler. But a biblical worldview actually has a great deal to teach us about economic matters. Mohler notesthat while the Christian worldview does not demand or promote a particular economic system, there are several principles that should guide our thinking: 6. A Christian economic understanding rewards initiative, industry and investment. Initiative, industry and investment are three crucial words for the Christian’s economic and theological...
Rev. Sirico on defending the free market
Why should we care about human dignity, creativity and flourishing? Why value human creativity? Why even believe that human beings possess dignity and rights? As Rev. Robert Sirico writes in the Washington Times, the free market system assumes, rather than defends, the value of all these things—something easy to miss because most of us share these sentiments. The religious foundation with which I was imbued as a child, and to which I returned after a spell in the wilderness of...

Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
When Bob Dylan wrote, “The Times They Are A Changin’,” I doubt he had the Swedish Academy in mind. Nevertheless, by awarding him the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature the Academy has made a bold statement for a change in the way songwriting is viewed as literature. Many people have plained that there were many more worthy potential recipients. But let’s face the facts: Bob Dylan won, and they lost. He likely didn’t even know he peting. (Reportedly, he was...

Trump is the lewd American male
The implosion of Donald Trump’s campaign is a reminder that at the end of the day, character matters more than professional success or mitments. At the beginning of the second presidential debate Donald apologized again for the ments recorded during a private discussion with Billy Bush in 2005 in which he boasted of romantically pursuing married women and groping others. In his apology, he referred to that discussion as regular “locker room talk.” In other words, Trump believes he is...
