John Stonestreet: Why should we be civil with our political or religious opponents, especially if they’re not civil with us? Chuck Colson reminds us.

The loneliness epidemic has had its effect on many different groups of people, but perhaps more prominently, it has plagued the elderly community. One U.K. study suggests that loneliness in elders can lead to an early death.

The next opportunity for the church to, as Chuck Colson often said, “be the church,” is to parents and children as the school year starts. “The Church that figures out how to care for kids and parents,” Pastor Rick argued, “will have the ear of...
