More quotes by 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
Our culture has forgotten what the Founders knew: The American experiment is a moral, not just a political, exercise.
Charles Colson
Our society's obsession with tolerance leads to intolerance. Simply being a Christian today is an offense 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
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 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 Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
Charles Colson
What we do flows from who we are.
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 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 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
Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion.
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
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
Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems.
Charles Colson
Frontline love. It is our one hope for breaking down barriers and for restoring the sense of community, of caring for one another, that our decadent, impersonalized culture has sucked out of us.
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
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
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
Who speaks for God? He does quite nicely for Himself. Through His holy and infallible Word - and the quiet obedience of His servants.
