More quotes by Charles Colson
Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion.
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
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
The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
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
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
Christians need to take the lead in educating people that children are gifts, as my autistic grandson most surely is. By going down the path we're currently on, we might one day get rid of genetic diseases, but only at the cost of our own humanity.
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
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 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
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
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
We humans, you see, have an infinite capacity for self-rationalization.
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
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
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
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 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
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
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.
