More quotes by 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 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
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
Culture is religion incarnate.
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.
Charles Colson
The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
Charles Colson
I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.
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
Judeo-Christian revelation is not the negative influence secularists proclaim it to be. Rather, it is the taproot of our civilization.
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
I was deepening my understanding of what we call the cultural commission, the command to take dominion and bring righteousness to our culture.
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
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
Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems.
Charles Colson
Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion.
Charles Colson
We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity.
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
In college, [Christian students] are assaulted by secular relativism, and if we don't prepare them, they will be like lambs led to slaughter.
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
The problem is that relativism provides no sure foundation for a safe and orderly society.
Charles Colson
