More quotes by Charles Colson
The gospel of Jesus Christ must be the bad news of the conviction of sin before it can be the Good News of redemption. The truth is revealed in God's Holy Word life can be lived only in absolute and disciplined submission to its authority.
Charles Colson
Tolerance once meant that we could use our reason to discern good and evil in open debate. Today tolerance has been used to call good evil and evil good.
Charles Colson
The modernists started with the assumption that science is the only source of sure knowledge, that nature is all there is, and thus that morality is merely a human invention that can be changed to meet changing circumstances in an evolving world.
Charles Colson
Christians are called to redeem entire cultures, not just individuals.
Charles Colson
Many people are trying to remove religion from public life. Under the banner of pluralism, cultural and political leaders are seeking to push all talk about God out of the public arena.
Charles Colson
I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.
Charles Colson
If our culture is to be transformed, it will happen from the bottom up - from ordinary believers practicing apologetics over the backyard fence or around the barbecue grill.
Charles Colson
We should always pray with as much earnestness as those who expect everything from God we should always act with as much energy as those who expect everything from themselves.
Charles Colson
Wilberforce and the band of abolitionists knew that a private faith that did not act in the face of oppression was no faith at all.
Charles Colson
A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.
Charles Colson
Christians need to take the lead in educating people that children are gifts, as my autistic grandson most surely is. By going down the path we're currently on, we might one day get rid of genetic diseases, but only at the cost of our own humanity.
Charles Colson
Removing religious symbols from public places is not neutrality. On the contrary, it sends a highly negative message - that religion is something shameful, embarrassing, or at best strictly private.
Charles Colson
Heroism is an extraordinary feat of the flesh holiness is an ordinary act of the spirit. One may bring personal glory the other always gives God glory.
Charles Colson
True tolerance is not a total lack of judgment. It's knowing what should be tolerated, and refusing to tolerate that which shouldn't.
Charles Colson
Power is like saltwater the more you drink, the thirstier you get.
Charles Colson
What is true has never been a question to be decided by polls or popular opinion. Truth isn’t ‘democratic’—it’s something that God has written into the very fabric of nature.
Charles Colson
Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems.
Charles Colson
Judeo-Christian revelation is not the negative influence secularists proclaim it to be. Rather, it is the taproot of our civilization.
Charles Colson
The dynamism and freedom that characterizes the West is the product of Christianity's reforming itself and moving forward culturally. The ascendancy of the West is the story of the difference that Christianity makes, and it's a story we can't let our culture forget.
Charles Colson
Let's acknowledge that America's increasing decadence is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. When we tolerate trash on television, permit pornography to invade our homes via the Internet, and allow babies to be killed at the point of birth, we are inflaming radical Islam.
