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
The true mark of a Christian leader is trying to build up other people. Raise up other leaders!

Great fiction can often present moral messages with greater power and clarity than instructional writing - since literature, after all, penetrates not just the intellect, but the imagination.
Charles Colson
Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems.
Charles Colson
Who speaks for God? He does quite nicely for Himself. Through His holy and infallible Word - and the quiet obedience of His servants.

Our society's obsession with tolerance leads to intolerance. Simply being a Christian today is an offense to our culture.
Charles Colson
It's part of the buzz of the city among Christians. It wouldn't surprise me that it got to George Bush. He reads, he picks stuff up, he talks to people. And he's pretty serious about his own Christian beliefs.
Charles Colson
The church has been brought into the same value system as the world: fame, success, materialism and celebrity. We watch the leading churches and the leading Christians for our cues. We want to emulate the best known preachers with the biggest sanctuaries and the grandest edifices. Preoccupation with these values has perverted the church's message.
Charles Colson

A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.
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
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
The life function of [the local church] is to love the God who created it - to care for others out of obedience to Christ, to heal those who hurt, to take away fear, to restore community, to belong to one another, to proclaim the Good News while living it out. The church is the invisible made visible.
Charles Colson
Our culture has forgotten what the Founders knew: The American experiment is a moral, not just a political, exercise.
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
What we do flows from who we are.
