More quotes by 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
You are called not to be successful or to meet any of the other counterfeit standards of this world, but to be faithful and to be expended in the cause of serving the risen and returning Christ.
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
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
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
Christians are called to redeem entire cultures, not just individuals.
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.
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
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
I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.
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
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
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
What we do flows from who we are.
Charles Colson
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
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
... 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
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!

Power is like saltwater the more you drink, the thirstier you get.
