During World War II, German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer led Christians to defy the Nazis with what he called "civic courage." In 1978, Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned America that it was headed for danger if we did not recover "civil courage." Is the American church up to the task?

Testing the Courage of our Convictions In recent years, Christians have been cowed to silence when it comes to the application of faith to life in the public square.

Doug, thanks for your comment. All: The comments he is referring to are probably the ones at the original YouTube site. (The videos you see posted here are imbedded views of the Two Minute Warning videos at Youtube.com/colsoncenter. There are often very vigorous comments at that location. This video got a lot of comments, many negative. You can view here: (paste into your browser)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wevZ3C6oi0A. Feel free to comment there, here, or in both places.

civic courage
Mr. Colson's worldview is obviously different that most of those making comments here. He has a high view of Biblical authority and accuracy, as do I. My only comment for those who call him names is that if you are living like there is no God, you better be right.
