Tomorrow, October 16, would have been Chuck Colson’s 90th birthday. His legacy continues, not only in the ongoing work of the Colson Center, but also the continuation of Prison Fellowship, especially the Angel Tree ministry.

In his memorable “Letter from the Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King, Jr., threw down the gauntlet in his great Civil Rights crusade when he refused to obey what he regarded as an immoral man-made law that did not match up with the law of God.

Sir Isaac Newton, in a letter written in 1675 to fellow scientist Robert Hooke, wrote, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Chuck Colson was one of those giants for many of us, and it is our privilege to steward...

Back in 2007, Chuck Colson described that history in a Breakpoint he called “Honoring the Witnesses.” Here’s Chuck Colson: 

This Thanksgiving, it’s appropriate to thank God for our heritage, to remember the warnings of our nation’s forebears, and to pray for renewal in the church and in our nation.  

Like an Autumn ritual, leaves start turning, the air turns chilly, and Christians argue over whether or not to celebrate Halloween. I’ve never been a huge fan of the dark, sketchy costumes (and I’m talking about what the adults wear), but there’s...

St. Patrick had been raised in a Christian home, but he didn’t really believe in God. But now—hungry, lonely, frightened, and bitterly cold—Patrick began seeking out a relationship with his heavenly Father. As he wrote in his Confessions, “I would...

Twelve years ago, Chuck Colson offered a helpful worldview analysis of Avatar. Given its re-release last weekend, it’s worth another hearing. Here’s Chuck Colson:

The reason the Church today is having so little impact is too many Christians view their faith only in terms of a personal relationship with Jesus. But Christianity does not stop with salvation; that’s only the beginning. We’ve got to learn how to...

Frequent readers and listeners of Breakpoint know about Max. The grandson of Chuck Colson and subject of a book called Dancing With Max, authored by Emily Colson (Chuck’s daughter and Colson Center board member), Max is a remarkable...

The beloved hymn "Amazing Grace" was born out of John Newton's deep reflection on God’s transformative grace in his life. Once a rebellious slave trader, Newton experienced a radical change through the power of the Gospel, inspiring him to write...

Of the thousands of green-clad parade-goers, marchers, and partiers today, few know about Patrick, the man for whom today’s holiday is named. Fewer still know of the man beyond the legend, who supposedly drove the snakes out of Ireland and...

Online predators profit while children pay the price. It’s time Christians take action—and offer something far better than the world’s broken view of sex.

After conversion, celebrities need to be discipled to follow Jesus as much as any of us. Being talented, beautiful, or charismatic on camera is no shortcut to what Dallas Willard called “the renovation of the heart.”

Someday, and I say this with full confidence, the world will be on the other side of COVID-19. But I wonder, what will the world look like after this is all said and done?

We didn’t choose to be in this cultural moment, or to face the challenges it presents. Our time and our place in history are chosen by God. Our moment in history is not an accidental context in which we try to follow Jesus. It’s actually part of...

In Solzhenitsyn’s diagnosis, the West had lost “civil courage” and had exchanged eternal truths for what he called “a relentless and superficial legalism.” The absence of “courage” played out in three tragic realities: the worship of unbridled...

Each year, the Colson Fellows program equips Christians from various places, callings, and ages, to think and live with the clarity, confidence, and courage of a Christian worldview.
