The Mission of the Church
Christianity as a Worldview
Chuck reminds us why the Colson Center’s mission matters so much.
Today I want to tell you about a major new effort to renew the Church and transform the culture.
What is the vision of the Church? That was the sermon topic one Sunday a dozen years ago or so when I visited a friend’s church. But as I listened, I found my mind wandering. I had just signed a contract to write a book on Christian worldview, ...

A Detective Story
In this 1999 BreakPoint commentary, Chuck points out that the universe offers many clues to its true nature and provenance.
Recently, in Sarasota, Florida, a man named Paul Colicci was found dead in his garage. Detectives first thought Colicci's death was a suicide. But then they discovered he had multiple injuries—a pattern extremely unlikely in any suicide. So the case is now being investigated as murder.
How do detectives determine whether... READ FULL ARTICLE

Reflections on my conversion
It’s been a year since the Lord called Chuck home, but his testimony remains as powerful as ever.
A lot of people have asked me what I think about when I remember back to that hot, humid August night in 1973 when Tom Phillips, then the president of the Raytheon Company, witnessed to me in his home. I left his house that night shaken by the words he had read from C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity about pride.... READ FULL ARTICLE
From Every Nation
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” Revelation 7:9-10

Common Glory
On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. Psalm 145:4, 5
Glory abounding
The glory of God abounds on every hand. The whole creation declares His glory, speaks of His existence, reveals to us something of His love, and calls us to wonder, discovery, understanding, and praise (cf. Ps. 19:1-4; Rom. 1:19, 20; Prov. 25:2; Ps. 145:10, 11). God has set up the creation in such a manner as that it continuously reveals aspects of His being and will, manifesting His creating and upholding... READ FULL ARTICLE

Controversial artThe newspaper headline caught my eye: “NYers Furious Over Photos Taken Through Windows.”[i] New York City photographer Arne Svenson watched with interest as a glass and steel luxury building was constructed across the street from his apartment building. All the apartments in the new Zinc Building have floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which drew the attention of Svenson and his telephoto lens. He explains:
As people filled the empty units, I was intrigued not only by the implied stories within the frame of glass but also by the play of light upon the subjects,... READ FULL ARTICLE
Not Confident
A pastor’s dream
As a pastor, I’ve been dreaming a bit lately – not about new programs, ministries, or committees (especially not about new committees).
Here’s the dream: that my church would become the kind of congregation that lives facing the world in such a way that we would be baptizing three brand new adult followers of Jesus every month.
On one level that almost sounds too simple. On another level, the changes we’d have to make to pursue that vision would be substantial. ...

Living Expectantly
Looking aheadEach morning when I get up to take out our dog, Cu, I’m pretty certain he only has one thing on his mind (such as it is).
Cu is a creature of instinct. He whimpers and moans a bit as I struggle to get my sweatpants on, not because he’s already thinking about everything he has to do today and he’s chomping at the bit, as it were, to get at it.
He just needs to go.
Then he needs to come in, sniff around the house, and gather up some of his toys until my English muffin is ready. Then he needs to join me for a little muffin and jam before we head upstairs for prayer time. Which... READ FULL ARTICLE
Kermit Gosnell and the Abortion Cover-up
“Thus says the Lord: ‘For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.” Amos 1:13
Long-time abortion provider, Kermit Gosnell, has now been sentenced to life imprisonment on multiple counts of first degree murder and a string of lesser charges.
The verdict was issued on 15 May after it emerged that his Philadelphia based “Woman’s Medical Society” snipped the spinal cords of hundreds of babies born alive. Eight former workers at the clinic have also been charged, and four have pleaded... READ FULL ARTICLE
