  • Charles W. “Chuck” Colson (1931-2012)
    Once known as the “hatchet man” for President Nixon, Colson pled guilty to obstruction of justice and served seven months in a maximum-security prison. He had recently converted to Christianity after talking with a friend and reading C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity. He left prison in 1975 committed to taking the Gospel to prisoners and their families. The following year, he founded Prison Fellowship, which now serves in over a hundred countries, helping to transform prisoners’ lives and connect them to their families.
    Chuck soon heard an additional calling. He recognized that U.S. churches were focused on evangelism but were missing the “cultural commission,” neglecting potential influence in the culture. In 1991, he established the radio broadcast BreakPoint. In 1999, he co-authored How Now Shall We Live?, a definitive treatise on Christian worldview. In 2004, he launch The Centurions Program to train men and women to impact their own communities. The program was renamed the Colson Fellows after his death in 2012. In 2009, Chuck Colson worked with Robert P. George and Timothy George to draft the Manhattan Declaration, a statement of Christian conscience on the issues of life, marriage, and religious liberty.

    Thank you for putting this video together. My husband and I are great admirers of Chuck's, and named our younger son "Colson" after him. When we met Chuck in 2007, I was amazed at how attentive he was. When we visited with him, he was so personable, caring and did not carry himself like a celebrity. He truly had a servant's heart.

    Met Chuck at a VIP fund raiser 20 years ago....I was not a VIP. Somehow, with his lovely wife from across the room our gaze connected and he waded through the crowd and greeted me. He walked right past many with more money, status and influence than I had...that said a lot to me and my wife about his humility, trust in God's provision and priorities.

    I'm grateful to God for the life of this remarkable man. He has expounded to me, probably like no other person, how the gospel can truly change not just a human soul but human culture.

    The name is synonymous with goodness and what God can do with a mere man who is willing to yield himself to Christ.

      God commands His people and His servant leaders in the government to faithfully and strictly \execute the rules of the law of the land, that they do not usurp power violate the rules, make up their own rule, break or change the rules in order to fix the rules. VP Pence did his duty to the Constituion, the highest law of the land, above even the POTUS, to follow the rules in the 12th amendment and ECA of the Constitution and the Senate Rules. He rightly refused to take upon himself authority not assigned to him to change the rules - hand over electoral votes to SL for the purpose to switch win from Biden to Trump, that then will lead overturn the 2020 election to Trump. For him to do that is in complete violation of the rules in ECA and the Senate. As a good and faithful servant leader and VP, he morally and righteously fulfilled his oath to the Constitution, to the American people, and to God. He put God’s will above his own, and the people who cared more about their own will than who did not pray for His Kingdom come,, His will be done, on earth as in the heavens. He is the example of an imitator of the Apostle Paul, and the loving brother and member for the Body of Christ. He is in God’s truth, NOT TRAITOR - A FALSE ACCUSATION AND LIE CREATED BY SATAN, THE FATHER OF LIES. The people who are calling Mike Pence a traitor is repeating Satan’s lies, are one with Satan and sinned against God’s righteousness. Wages of sin is eternal death. Believing into eternal salvation of Jesus
      Christ, and calling upon the name of Lord, repenting and asking for His forgiveness is gift of eternal life and peace.

      "Where is the hope? I meet millions of people who feel demoralized by the decay around us. The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, or what laws we pass, or what great things we do as a nation. Our hope is in the power of God working through the hearts of people. And that's where our hope is in this country. And that's where our hope is in life." - Chuck Colson
