When the Media Does a Hatchet Job on a FORMER Hatchet Man
It’s been a pathetic read in most media outlets regarding the obituary of Chuck Colson. Some people just will never let Watergate go. HERE is a good response.

Chuck Colson
Chuck Colson has passed away. The media, of course, begins with the statement that he was Nixon’s “hatchet man” in the Watergate era. The media may call him a “hatchet man,” but then they typically do a hatchet job, depicting Colson as “reinventing” himself. Colson was transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. He then turned to help others see the…

The Broken (and Rich) Political System
Chuck Colson’s article is well worth reading. I remember during the second bailout a couple of years ago joking around with someone. He asked, “When will I get my share of this bailout?” I replied, “Well, let’s do the math. Did you give huge boatloads of money to either political party?” “No,” he replied. “Then you get nothing. That was…

Keeping Up to Date with the Church Around the World
We need to hear the voices of our brothers and sisters around the world even more. The persecution increases in the Middle East. Chuck Colson’s broadcast today focused on this issue. Please pray for the Body of Christ around the world. Before the Iraq War began, Christians comprised about five percent of the population of Iraq. Since then more than…

What, in your opinion, would or would not constitute such a move?

While I am not convinced of his comments regarding the differences between “freedom of religion” and “freedom of worship,” I am convinced we can reach a day where our government will erode the power of…

Engaging the Culture
I have posted a couple of times on an interview with James Davison Hunter in Christianity Today. Hunter’s take on our political activity is critical, and I agree. Yet, he raised the hackles of Chuck Colson, another man I deeply admire. Colson’s critique was a bit too critical, in my view. He felt Hunter’s position meant Christians just withdraw from society.…

Faithful Presence and Faithful Activism
I wrote some comments on a Christianity Today interview I read. Then, I saw a response from Chuck Colson. Colson is a hero of mine, so I appreciate his thoughts on this subject as well. He disagrees with the premise, of course. So, we read, evaluate, and hopefully reach some good conclusions of our own. Colson’s conclusion is something with…

More on Healthcare “Reform”
I have a tab on this blog with more thoughts on healthcare “reform,” but I needed to add this update from Chuck Colson. I know there are people applauding this legislation. It’s becoming the liberal version of “patriotism.” Remember the “old days” of the Iraq War when the liberals got upset when Republicans challenged their “patriotism” because they opposed the…
