　　Commentary on Proverbs 18:6-7

　　(Read Proverbs 18:6-7)

　　What mischief bad men do to themselves by their ungoverned tongues!

　　Proverbs 18:6 In-Context

　　4 The words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream.

　　5 It is not good to be partial to the wicked and so deprive the innocent of justice.

　　6 The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.

　　7 The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives.

　　8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.

Amity Shlaes on ‘The Good Rich’ and the Folly of Philanthropy
In a new book, The Good Rich and What They Cost Us, Robert Dalzell Jr. aims to address “a great paradox at the core of the American Dream: a passionate belief in the principles of bined with an equally passionate celebration of wealth.” In a review for the Wall Street Journal, Amity Shlaes notes that although the book provides an in-depth look at the history of American philanthropy, the author’s own personal prescriptions lend too high a trust to government...
A Cookie for Me, But Not for Thee
There are some amazing economic and moral lessons, related to redistribution, zeo-sum fallacies, as well as virtue and desire, embedded in this Sesame Street video: Can you think of any other ways that both Ernie and Cookie Monster might have been able to be happy instead of sad? And what if the object in question weren’t a cookie, but instead something like an apple, perhaps? ...

The Audacity of Irony: Obama and “Religious Freedom Day”
Yesterday, while his lawyers were busy defending against charges that the Obama administration violated the religious freedoms of his fellow citizens, President Obama was designating January 17 as Religious Freedom Day. The author of the The Audacity of Hope has the audacity to hope that Americans will not snicker at the idea that he’s a defender of religious liberty. In his proclamation, Obama says, Today, we also remember that religious liberty is not just an American right; it is a...
Happiness, work, and the eternal quest for meaning
In my cautionary post on the constant temptation to indulge in earthbound economics, I mentioned that even seemingly noble, intangible features such as “happiness” can be just as futile and vain when pursued on our own terms and for our own limited purposes. If we don’t order and define things properly, the “pursuit of happiness” can easilydistract us away from our eternal quest for widespread spiritual transformation. As the author of Ecclesiastes points out, when “testing ourselves” with mere pleasure—even...
AU Online: ‘Building a Marketplace Theology’ series begins Jan. 22
When we think of markets, we may conjure up a picture of goods and services production, supply and demand economics, and freedom of exchange. This of course is an accurate depiction, but what if in addition to this, the marketplace is actually divinely inspired and can be utilized to fulfill God’s mission? In the ing AU Online four-part lecture series, Building a Marketplace Theology: From Conception to Execution of an Evangelistic Marketplace Practicum, serial entrepreneur David Doty will explore this...

We Should Affirm All Callings—Even Pastoral Ones
The winter issue of Leadership Journal is on vocation and callings. In the lead editorial, managing editor Drew Dyck reminds us that while it’s important to affirm the calling of lawyers, journalists, and plumbers, we need to remember that being a pastor is a calling too: I applaud this move toward a more holistic understanding of vocation. I’ve seen numerous books on the topic published in the past few years. Conferences are springing up. What’s most heartening is to see...

Film Review: Don’t Believe in ‘Promised Land’
Environmental issues have increasingly e polarized. No sooner has a new technology been announced than some outspoken individual climbs athwart it to cry, “Stop!” in the name of Mother Earth. To some extent, this is desirable – wise stewardship of our shared environment and the resources it provides not only benefits the planet but its inhabitants large and small. When prejudices overwhelm wisdom, however, well-intentioned but wrongheaded projects such as Promised Land result. The latest cinematic effort by screenwriters-actors Matt...
