Fifty years ago this week, Charles W. Colson became a follower of Jesus Christ. Chuck would subsequently become one of the most respected evangelical leaders of the 20th and early 21st centuries, founding both Prison Fellowship Ministries and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, and authoring bestselling books such as Born Again, How Now Shall We Live?, and Loving God.   Chuck Colson's influence came about because of how deeply and thoroughly Jesus Christ changed his life. Certainly, he was an incredibly gifted person (after all, not everyone lands in a White House office as special counsel to the President of the United States in their thirties!). Yet, Chuck's giftedness before he found faith was corrupted by pride, which led to an incredible public fall.  On the thirtieth anniversary of his conversion, Chuck Colson described it in detail. Here, in his own voice, is Chuck Colson:  "Thirty years ago today, I visited Tom Phillips, president of the Raytheon Company, at his home outside of Boston. I had represented Raytheon before going to the White House, and I was about to start again.  But I visited him for another reason as well. I knew Tom had become a Christian, and he seemed so different. I wanted to ask him what had happened.  That night, he read to me from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, particularly a chapter about the great sin that is pride. A proud man is always walking through life looking down on other people and other things, said Lewis. As a result, he cannot see something above himself immeasurably superior—God.  Tom, that night, told me about encountering Christ in his own life. He didn't realize it, but I was in the depths of deep despair over Watergate, watching the President I had helped for four years flounder in office. I had also heard that I might become a target of the investigation as well. In short, my world was collapsing.  That night, as Tom was telling me about Jesus, I listened attentively but didn't let on about my need. When he offered to pray, I thanked him but said, no, I would see him sometime after I had read C.S. Lewis's book. But when I got in the car that night, I couldn't drive it out of the driveway. Ex-Marine captain, White House tough guy, I was crying too hard, calling out to God. I didn't know what to say: I just knew I needed Jesus, and He came into my life.  That was thirty years ago.  I've been reflecting of late on the things God has done over that time. As I think about my life, the beginning of the prison ministry, our work in the justice area, our international ministry that reaches one hundred countries, and the work of the Wilberforce Forum and Breakpoint, I have come to appreciate the doctrine of providence. It's not the world's idea of fate or luck, but the reality of God's divine intervention. He orchestrates the lives of His children to accomplish His good purposes.  God has certainly ordered my steps. I couldn't have imagined when I was in prison that I would someday go back to the White House with ex-offenders as I did on June 18—or that we would be running prisons that have an 8% recidivism rate—or that Breakpoint would be heard daily on a thousand radio outlets across the United States and on the internet.  The truth that is uppermost in my mind today is that God isn't finished. As long as we're alive, He's at work in our lives. We can live lives of obedience in any field because God providentially arranges the circumstances of our lives to achieve His objectives.  And that leads to the greatest joy I've found in life. As I look back on my life, it's not having been to Buckingham Palace to receive the Templeton Prize or getting honorary degrees or writing books. The greatest joy is to see how God has used my life to touch the lives of others, people hurting and in need.  It has been a long time since the dark days of Watergate. I'm still astounded that God would take someone who was infamous in the Watergate scandal, and soon to be a convicted felon, and take him into His family and then order his steps in the way He has with me. God touched me at that moment in Tom Phillip's driveway, and thirty years later, His love and kindness touch and astound me still."  Chuck Colson's life and legacy continues to be a testimony to God's amazing grace.   For more resources to live like a Christian in this cultural moment, go to breakpoint.org.

How Now Shall We Live? 1 Peter 4:7-11Suffering is a catalyst God uses to grow us into Christlikeness so we can bring Him greater glory! The Apostle Peter is writing to a suffering Church in the first century. His words are more relevant than ever to the Church of the 21st century.How Now Shall We Live?1)Live with urgency. 1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”Christ's return is nearer than it has ever been! 2 Peter 3:3-4, 8-9, “knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation'…But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” We should be living with urgency for the things of eternity. Find your “one.” Suffering and crisis create opportunities for gospel conversations!2)Love fervently. 1 Peter 4:8-9, “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude of sins.' Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.”The early Christians were living proof of a loving God to a watching world. And the ancient world was changed by what they saw!Emperor Julian wrote in A.D. 362 to pagan priests complaining about the growth of Christianity and blaming it on the Church's “benevolence to strangers, their care for the graves of the dead…it is a disgrace that the impious Galileans [Christians] support not only their own poor but ours as well.”3)Serve sacrificially. 1 Peter 4:10-11, “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”The world kingdoms rise and fall, but the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ will last forever!

In our culture, today, there are so many ideas and voices competing with the voice of Truth found in the Word of God. Consequently, Christians have become more confused than ever with how to think Biblically regarding issues pertaining to gender and sexuality. In part two of our interview with Professor Nancy Pearcey, we discuss her most recent book, Love Thy Body, and hear how a Christian can walk in love without compromising truth and faithfulness to God's Word. Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality. Her earlier books include The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into nine languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She was highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today and was hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."Links to Nancy's Books:Total Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Truth-Study-Guide-Christianity/dp/1433502208Love Thy Body: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Thy-Body-Answering-Questions/dp/0801075726The Soul of Science: https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Science-Christian-Natural-Philosophy/dp/0891077669Saving Leonardo: https://www.amazon.com/Saving-Leonardo-Secular-Assault-Meaning/dp/1433669277Finding Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Truth-Principles-Secularism-Substitutes/dp/0781413087How Now Shall We Live?: https://www.amazon.com/How-Now-Shall-We-Live/dp/084235588X

In their eloquent defense of life, marriage, and religious liberty, Chuck Colson and the authors of the Manhattan Declaration made this bold statement: “There is no more eloquent defense of the rights and duties of religious conscience than the one offered by Martin Luther King, Jr., in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” Today on Martin Luther King Day, we want to share with you a BreakPoint commentary Chuck Colson aired back in the year 2000 about “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”  Although recent revelations point to Dr. King's moral failings, the issues Dr. King raised about the nature of law, what constitutes an unjust law, and how we should respond to unjust laws are as true today as ever. So, here's Chuck Colson, from January of 2000. "A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is out of harmony with the moral law." It was with these very words, in his memorable “Letter from the Birmingham Jail,” that Martin Luther King, Jr., threw down the gauntlet in his great Civil Rights crusade. King refused to obey what he regarded as an immoral law that did not square with the law of God. All across America today, millions of people are celebrating the birthday of this courageous man, and deservedly so. He was a fearless battler for truth, and all of us are in his debt because he remedied past wrongs and brought millions of Americans into the full riches of citizenship. In schools and on courthouse steps, people will be quoting his "I Have a Dream" speech today. It is an elegant and powerful classic. But I would suggest that one of Dr. King's greatest accomplishments, one which will be little mentioned today because it has suddenly become "politically incorrect," is his advocacy of the true moral foundations of law. King defended the transcendent source of the law's authority. In doing so he took a conservative Christian view of law. In fact, he was perhaps the most eloquent advocate of this viewpoint in his time, as, interestingly, Justice Clarence Thomas may be today. Writing from a jail cell, King declared that the code of justice is not man's law: It is God's law. Imagine a politician making such a comment today? We all remember the controversy that erupted weeks ago when George W. Bush made reference to his Christian faith in a televised national debate. But King built his whole case on the argument, set forth by St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, that "An unjust law is no law at all." To be just, King argued, our laws must always reflect God's Law. This is the great issue today in the public square: Is the law rooted in truth? Is it transcendent, immutable, and morally binding? Or is it, as liberal interpreters have suggested, simply what courts say it is? Do we discover the law, or do we create it? Ever since Dr. King's day, the United States Supreme Court has been moving us step-by-step away from the positions of this great Civil Rights leader. To continue in this direction, as I have written, can only lead to disastrous consequences—indeed, the loss of self-governing democracy. So I would challenge each of us today to use this occasion to reflect not just on his great crusade for Civil Rights but also on Martin Luther King's wisdom in bringing law back to its moral foundations. Many think of King as some kind of liberal firebrand, but when it comes to the law he was a great conservative who stood on the shoulders of Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine, striving without apology to restore our heritage of justice. This is a story I tell in my book, “How Now Shall We Live?”: a great moment in history when a courageous man applied the law of God to the unjust laws of our time, and made a difference. And that is the lesson we should teach our kids on this holiday. It is not just another day off from school or a day to go to the mall. Read through King's letter with you kids: It's the most important civics lesson they'll ever get.

Deception Detection Radio Network                        presents         Soaring Eagle Radio with                  Mike Spaulding                 and Special Guest Nancy Pearcey In Mere Christianity, CS Lewis noted that, “Nearly all that we call human history... is one long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” The cultural mantra most often heard today is “don’t think just believe” and that is true whether you find yourself in a church, on a college campus, and even the workplace. Asking questions, especially questions that challenge the status quo are off-limits in many places and on many subjects. But does this uncritical approach to life really provide any emotional satisfaction? Is it really possible to go through life without assessing the reasons why we believe and act in certain ways as opposed to believing and acting in certain other ways? The fact is friends, people want answers to their very serious questions. This in turn means that people believe truth exists. Do you consider yourself prepared to answer questions from your friends, family, or co-workers? This episode of SER is my conversation with author and apologist Nancy Pearcey. Nancy bio Nancy Pearcey is the author of “Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity”, which won a 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award, and “How Now Shall We Live?” (coauthored by Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson), which won a 2000 ECPA Gold Medallion Award. Her most recent release and the subject of our conversation today is entitled “Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes.” Pearcey has been a visiting scholar at Biola University’s Torrey Honors Institute, professor of worldview studies at Cairn University, and Francis A. Schaeffer scholar at the World Journalism Institute. Currently she is professor of apologetics and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, a fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and editor at large of The Pearcey Report.
