More quotes by Charles Colson
Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion.
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
One of the most wonderful things about being a Christian is that I don't ever get up in the morning and wonder if what I do matters. I live every day to the fullest because I can live it through Christ and I know no matter what I do today, I'm going to do something to advance the Kingdom of God.
Charles Colson
God doesn't want our success He wants us. He doesn't demand our achievements He demands our obedience.
Charles Colson
A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.
Charles Colson
Lenin, Stalin, and Rakosi recognized that a renewed and purified Christianity was the only force that could move the masses as powerfully as the Marxist ideal could. They attacked it as the enemy that it was and is.
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
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
... 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 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
Nearly every grave moral failure begins with a small sin.
Charles Colson
What we do flows from who we are.
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
We humans, you see, have an infinite capacity for self-rationalization.
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
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 problem is that relativism provides no sure foundation for a safe and orderly society.
Charles Colson
Great fiction can often present moral messages with greater power and clarity than instructional writing - since literature, after all, penetrates not just the intellect, but the imagination.
Charles Colson
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
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.
