How Should We Then Live? has become the benchmark for Christian worldview thinking today. This edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of L'Abri Fellowship, founded by Francis and Edith Schaeffer.
Charles W. Colson, former Special Counsel to President Richard M. Nixon, a highly regarded author, speaker and media commentator, has been the leading spokesman for a Christian worldview on radio stations across the country since September 2, 1991.
Chuck's weekday radio program, BreakPoint®, in conjunction with The Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, is heard daily nationwide on 1,400 radio outlets offering biblical worldview perspective on current issues impacting our culture.
In the months before his death, Chuck was joined by John Stonestreet for BreakPoint This Week®, interviewing guests from all walks of life, including former President Jimmy Carter, in discussions that not only inform, but teach listeners how to bring a biblical worldview to the cultural impact discussions of our day.
Prison Fellowship Ministries, founded by Chuck in 1976, is an organization that continues to exhort and equip the church to help people suffering at all points of the cycle of crime: prisoners, their families, ex-prisoners, victims, and their families. He was convinced that Christians, in obedience to God's commands, must take the Gospel to people like those he encountered during his seven-month, Watergate-related prison term.
Born Again, Chuck's international best-selling book, dramatically details his conversion to Christianity in 1973. His subsequent books helped define the cultural dilemma from a biblical worldview including The Faith in 2008 and his 2011 release, The Sky is Not Falling: Living Fearlessly in These Turbulent Times. He also wrote a standing column for Christianity Today and contributed numerous articles to other magazines, newspapers and periodicals.
The cornerstone of Chuck's life and legacy is The Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview established in 2009 to train and equip a new generation of leaders to renew the church and revitalize and penetrate the culture.
It is in conjunction with that revitalization that in 2011, The Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview released the world-class video series, Doing the Right Thing: A Six-Part Exploration of Ethics presented live and on video on university campuses and churches nationwide. The series is hosted by Brit Hume, Senior Political Analyst for Fox News, taped before an audience of Princeton students and including an expert panel of commentators, including Chuck Colson. It subsequently became a popular series of radio specials.
His tireless efforts in compelling this generation to equip themselves with a Christian worldview did not deter the promise he made to fellow inmates in prison — that he would "never forget those behind bars."
Thank you for your prayers for the Colson family and for all those who served with him at Prison Fellowship, BreakPoint® and The Colson Center for Christian Worldview.
Jim Liske, current CEO of Prison Fellowship Ministries said this week: "Chuck's greatest desire beyond seeing Jesus has been the work he and all of us have been called to, will continue. As Chuck said so often, 'Remain at your posts and do your duty for the glory of God and His kingdom.'"
