- Lange: God Still Knows How to Perform Miracles
God used the very forces of nature to assist Washington in a feat that has been dubbed the “Miracle of Brooklyn Heights.” Even when the dawn threatened to expose the operation to the watchful British, that soupy fog persisted until the last boat was underway.... - Lange: Honoring the Founding Means Accountability to God
No system, no process, no protocol can ever replace the individual who stands before the God of Creation and who asks the whole world to judge his or her actions in the light of commonly accessible truth. - The Myth of "Christian Nationalism"
The idea that Christian political involvement is a recent or foreign intrusion into American life is historically absurd. Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Anglicans, and ministers from other traditions played an integral role in preparing Americans... - Lange: Humanity Rebuilds What Inhumanity has Destroyed
Inhumanity allows the ends to justify any means necessary. It dispenses with principles in a mad scramble to get its way. In the long run, this never works. Such short-sightedness trashes the institution in the near run and fails to achieve the ultimate goal. - Government Doesn't Become Neutral When Christians Walk Away
The people who say Christians should stay out of politics rarely apply that standard to themselves. They have no problem bringing their secular worldview into the classroom, the courtroom, the legislature, the bureaucracy, and the media. - Lange: Let's Give Children What They Way Want
Once we remember that the deepest need of every child is for his or her parents to be living under the same roof in a loving and stable relationship, we will want laws to support such families. - Lange: You Can't Certify and Uncertainty
State-issued certificates are about pre-existing truths that the state has an interest in protecting. Marriage is protected by the state. For that reason, the state needs to know who is married to whom. Likewise, states have a duty to protect your life. And st... - "The Story of Everything" is a Great Movie
This movie gave me hope that our own incessant arguing can find agreement. If Einstein and Hoyle could ultimately change their minds to agree with Hubble and Lemaître, we can learn something from them. Their zeal for the truth enabled them to admit errors and... - It's The Tomb That Proves It All
Had the stone been still in place and Jesus’ body been undisturbed, word would have spread rapidly that the Jewish priests and pharisees were right all along - Letter: Easter is More Than Egg Hunts and Candy
The celebration of Easter is so much more than egg hunts and candy. - Good Friday: This Changes Everything!
When Jesus’ disciples realized he had really died, they must have believed they had come to the end of the path to glory they had thought they were following with him. Though they didn’t understand what was coming, they had to have been thinking, “Well, this c... - Lange: A Pharisee and a Tax Collector Walk in to a Church
Suddenly, “thoughts and prayers” has become a hot topic. That’s great! Because like the pharisee and the publican, prayer separates the men from the boys—the sons of God from the sons of disobedience - Wake Up and Watch!
If this were going to be a quick and easy battle, Peter wouldn’t have needed to keep reminding us to be diligent. - Lange: Constitutions are Like Locks
In fact, there is no clear principle that limits the majority’s definition of “health care” to the annihilation of unborn babies. The novel “constitutional” theory that they propound applies to infants, children, adolescents, and adults, as well - Lange: Religionless Christianity
“Doing the word,” rather, means that the faith that saves you—the faith that is a pure gift of the Holy Spirit—the faith that you confess in the Creed—has a shape and a form in the world. What we do and say at work, at school, and in the public square are radi... - My Actions, my consequences. Their actions… my consequences? Taking the reins on Accountability.
"Accountability is not merely admitting fault. It is deeply understanding where things went wrong, feeling the emotional, spiritual, and professional weight of it." - Reflections on Adoption, Loss, and the Dignity of Human Life
"Every one of us began the same way as vulnerable, unseen, and dependent on someone else’s courage. Each of us was once given the chance to live." - The Longest Walk of My Life!
Honestly I didn’t think we would make it. By the time Scott sat down he was so exhausted his leg buckled underneath him. I will be forever changed by the lesson Scott’s walk taught me about faith and conviction.
