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.

More quotes by Charles Colson
I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.
Charles Colson
Culture is religion incarnate.
Charles Colson
The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
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
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
Judeo-Christian revelation is not the negative influence secularists proclaim it to be. Rather, it is the taproot of our civilization.
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
The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is more powerful than anything else we believe. By His resurrection Jesus proved He is who He says He is. Be confident in this truth. Stand on the Holy Word of God. Don't sell the world a false bill of goods. Preach the word. Defend the faith. Live the faith.
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
We humans, you see, have an infinite capacity for self-rationalization.
Charles Colson
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
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 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
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.
Charles Colson
Nearly every grave moral failure begins with a small sin.
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 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
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
... 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
