Power is like saltwater the more you drink, the thirstier you get.
Charles Colson
To turn away from the great questions and dilemmas of life is a tragedy, for the quest for meaning and truth makes life worth living.
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
What we do flows from who we are.
Charles Colson
Our society's obsession with tolerance leads to intolerance. Simply being a Christian today is an offense to our culture.
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.

Genuine Christianity is more than a relationship with Jesus, as expressed in personal piety, church attendance, Bible study, and works of charity. It is more than discipleship, more than believing a system of doctrines about God. Genuine Christianity is a way of seeing and comprehending all reality. It is a worldview.
Charles Colson
A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.
Charles Colson
When God wanted to defeat sin, His ultimate weapon was the sacrifice of His own Son. On Christmas Day two thousand years ago, the birth of a tiny baby in an obscure village in the Middle East was God's supreme triumph of good over evil.
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
... a widespread secularization increasingly descends into a moral, intellectual, and spiritual nihilism that denies not only the One who is the Truth but the very idea of truth itself.
Charles Colson
Nearly every grave moral failure begins with a small sin.
Charles Colson
The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
Charles Colson
That Solidarity was a religious movement no one, least of all the Soviets, can deny. In November 1981, Pravda denounced 'religious fanaticism' as a grave challenge to socialism failure to contain it, Pravda said, was at the root of the problems in Poland.
Charles Colson
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
Charles Colson
The first 20 stories written about a public figure set the tone for the next 2,000 and it is almost impossible to reverse it.
