  Commentary on Psalm 105:1-7

  (Read Psalm 105:1-7)

  Our devotion is here stirred up, that we may stir up ourselves to praise God. Seek his strength; that is, his grace; the strength of his Spirit to work in us that which is good, which we cannot do but by strength derived from him, for which he will be sought. Seek to have his favour to eternity, therefore continue seeking it while living in this world; for he will not only be found, but he will reward those that diligently seek him.

  Psalm 105:1 In-Context

  1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

  2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.

  3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

  4 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

  5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

The Art of Exchange: Capitalism, Creativity, and the Kickstarter Coup
Capitalism is routinely castigated as an enemy of the arts, with much of the finger-pointing bent toward monsters of profit and efficiency — drooling only for money, caring nothing for beauty, and so on. Other critiques take aim at more systemic features, fearing that the type of industrialization that markets sometimes tend toward will inevitably detach artists from healthy social contexts, sucking dry any potential for flourishing as a result. Yet while free economies certainly introduce a unique series of...
College and the Value of a Paycheck
Floyd “Money” Mayweather Over at Think Christian today, I explore the connection between higher education as a means to greater earning power in “The myth of lucrative college majors.”I argue that “the size of a paycheck is not the only factor worth considering,” and go on to detail what a paycheck does and does not represent. By looking at the earnings of various majors, it es apparent that we have a need for more engineers of various kinds. But apart...
Revival, Calvin Coolidge, and Recovering America’s Foundations
Often many on the political right believe that reform or change in the country is just one election or another president away. Some declare another Ronald Reagan can fix America’s problems, but entirely miss that there may be no culture left to support a president like Reagan. For almost every problem in this nation, there is not a political solution that will make any lasting impact or change for the better. This point is entirely missed by so many during...
Annual Meeting ‘Godflies’ at Cross Purposes with Investors
“Shareholders’ boardroom clout increases” touts the website at the Interfaith Council on Corporate Responsibility The linked article takes readers to an August 20 essay by Sara Murphy at The Motley Fool in which the author asserts: “New research out today from the Sustainable Investments Institute, or Si2, shows that investors are filing more environmentally and socially themed shareholder resolutions now than ever before, and those resolutions are getting more support during proxy voting than they ever have.” Not so fast,...

Dear Millennials: Get Over Yourselves and Get to Work

Michael Novak, George Weigel: Iraq Yesterday, Syria Today
The National Catholic Register asked prominent Catholic intellectuals Michael Novak and George Weigel to address the current U.S. involvement in Syria and its involvement with Iraq 10 years ago. While both supported the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003, they have a different take on the current situation with Syria. First, George Weigel; There were obviously a lot of things that could have been done better in securing the peace after the regime fell,” he acknowledged, in a...
The Golden Key of Soul Freedom
In an interview with Christianity Today, social critic Os Guinness explains why religious liberty it necessary for societal flourishing: Americans employ the term “religious freedom,” while Europeans prefer the roughly synonymous term “freedom of religion and belief.” In the book, you suggest something deeper and broader with the term “soul freedom.” What is “soul freedom”? “Soul Liberty” was Roger Williams’s magnificent term for religious freedom. It stands over against those who confuse religious freedom with mere toleration, or shrink it...
Come See That the Church is Already Diverse Racially, Culturally, and Ethnically
American Christians have a tendency to see their own denomination, local church, association of partner churches, and so on, as “the church.” With this es a number of blind spots about what the church looks like around the world. The Westminster Confession of Faith makes a distinction between the invisible church, those who have been or will be united to the Triune God by faith throughout the entire history of God’s people, and the visible church which is “catholic or...
Audio: Sirico on Pope Francis, the Media, and the Future of The Catholic Church
Last week, the first major interview with Pope Francis was released to the world via a number of Jesuit journals; you can read the interview for yourself at America Magazine. As usually happens, major media outlets reported on the interview, often putting their own spin on it (the New York Times provides an example of this type of coverage here). This morning, Frank Beckmann of Detroit, Michigan’s WJR Radiocalled upon Acton President Rev. Robert A. Sirico to discuss what the...
