“The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing. Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident? At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces?”

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

“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.”

“It was not apathy or passiveness. For him, prayer was a display of the strongest possible activity.”

“Christians who enjoy and support art and culture, who make it a priority in their lives, and who reach out to those in the arts instead of reflexively pushing them away, can help bring the culture toward a renewed appreciation of goodness, truth, and beauty. And that is good for everyone.”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“Miracles are supposed to point us to Him, but we can get to God without miracles. It is God himself we should long for rather than for the miracles that point to him. To get caught up in wanting miracles is a bit like thinking the destination of a road trip is the highway you're supposed to take.”

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

“For many of us, this is very painful, pulling the lever for someone many think odious. But please consider this: A vote for Donald Trump is not necessarily a vote for Donald Trump himself. It is a vote for those who will be affected by the results of this election. Not to vote is to vote. God will not hold us guiltless.”
