Six-hundred-page biographies of German theologians aren't known to fly off the shelves.

Where did God come from? It's certainly more complicated than trying to figure out where, say, Barry Manilow was born.

It's one thing to be innocent and another thing to be naive or willfully ignorant.

Miracles are signs, and like all signs, they are never about themselves; they're about whatever they are pointing toward. Miracles point to something beyond themselves. But to what? To God himself. That's the point of miracles - to point us beyond our world to another world.

Donald Trump's rise is certainly a symptom of our fading virtue and faith, but ironically, he may well be our only hope for finding our way back to bolder expressions of them.

No politician has ever used his faith to a greater result for all of humanity, and that is why, in his day, Wilberforce was a moral hero far more than a political one.

When you have a biblical idea of men's strength, you know that God only gives us anything good to be used for his purposes and mainly to serve others.

Young men, more than anything, need good role models in their lives.

Religious liberty is misunderstood. It simply means that the Founders said that everyone in America should have the freedom to practice and exercise their religion. Not to believe it but to exercise our beliefs - to act on our beliefs. It's not about believing privately in your head, privately in that building, or simply about freedom of worship.

Religious liberty is the salt and light that has made us the great nation we are in a whole number of ways.

To be labeled a 'science-denier' in 2017 often just means you've upset someone who insists on teaching strict, Darwinian orthodoxy in schools or who advocates particular climate legislation or who supports ethically fraught research on embryos.

Language is powerful. Words matter.

Many in our increasingly secular culture want to chase Christians out of the public square altogether.

If the main contribution that Christians make to culture is complaining about it, we're doing something wrong.

The familiar can feel good - especially with so much uncertainty when we turn on the news. But it doesn't uplift us, challenge us, or inspire anew as truly original work can.

For at least a decade, Millennials have been stereotyped as lazy, entitled, and stuck on social media. While that may not be entirely fair, they are notoriously liberal, overwhelmingly supporting left-leaning candidates and favoring policies like nationalized healthcare and same-sex 'marriage.'

We all have different strengths, different gifts.

Women are, I think, moved by the idea that self-sacrifice is noble and can be the source of great joy.

Our longing for immortality is good! It was put there on purpose. We were meant - from the moment of our creation - to live forever.

A Christian worldview impacts every area of life. Including making your house a home.

Home is - or should be - a place for companionship, for rearing children and having friends and family over for meals while the dog begs for scraps under the table.

Ultrasound is instrumental in the fight against abortion precisely because it allows women to make an informed choice by shedding light in a place which, for most of its history, has been shrouded in secrecy.

You can't fool children.

In some sense, there is no such thing as writing for children.

Restricting the religious impulses of Americans is precisely like killing free enterprise with too many regulations.

America is fundamentally exceptional. No one in the history of the world had ever done anything to compare with what the Founders did, creating a fragile mechanism by which men and women could actually govern themselves.

Most people really have no problem with the idea of a creator God. Their question is just what is this God like, how can I know about him, how can I know him.

I thought a book on miracles might be a great idea, but just because it's a great idea doesn't mean I'm supposed to do it. But my editor persisted, and eventually I thought, 'He's right. I should write this book.'

If God miraculously created all that is, including you and me, then to say that we need miracles is an understatement. Our only response to that idea should be undying gratitude.

I think that there are deceptive forces out there that will try to lead us away from God, and we really do need to be careful.

If America is an idea, which it is - we're not a nation of ethnic groups that say we're Americans because we have American blood; we have the blood of every nation in our veins - and there's something really beautiful about that, but it means that we are an idea and that we all have to buy into this idea.

I'm willing to give Pat Robertson a pass when he says things he shouldn't. That's because for every wacky, regrettable thing he says, he does a hundred thousand non-wacky good things that you'll never hear about on television.

I'm the author of several books, including children's books.

I think the fact that I use salty words in my Bonhoeffer book would tip you off that I'm no prude, exactly.

As an undergrad, I was the editor of the Yale humor magazine, and since then, I've published humor in the 'New York Times' and 'Atlantic,' among other places.

I guess I'm concerned that vulgarity has now officially entered the mainstream of our culture, and I think people have to respectfully stand up and say, 'No thanks.'

Even if you aren't a believer, there are incredible stories in the 'good book' that I guarantee you will keep you glued to the page. The Bible is no less a part of our cultural heritage than Shakespeare is - and by the way, Shakespeare's plays are absolutely loaded with Biblical references.

Often, we have only focused on what we've done wrong as a nation. Of course we should face our sins and our mistakes. But if we get stuck there and don't focus on where we've come from and how we've overcome those sins and mistakes, we are truly to be pitied.

Every country has things to be proud of and to celebrate.

God gave men and women work to do in the Garden before the Fall.

Work is not optional for those able to do work, and that's most of us. There are to be no shirkers in the Lord's kingdom.

Donald Trump is not some great man of virtue, but this much I'll say for him: I think he loves America, and I don't think he wants to line his own pockets.

Men and women are complements to each other, physically and otherwise.

David Frum, every now and again, comes up with something pretty darn brilliant.

People everywhere see the True, the Beautiful, and the Good and long to know their source. And, thank God, He has revealed Himself!

Created in the awesome image of God, men and women know that life has a meaning beyond 'eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.'

The truth is many singles deeply desire and pray for marriage.

We all can do our part to address America's anger mismanagement crisis. And for us Christians, it starts with a little more faith, hope, and love.

We may have city lights and the glow of touch screens to obscure our view, but God's world is still near at hand, even right here in New York City where I live.
