Democracy, Apple, and Us

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	Apple caved in to the demands of 7,700 “offended” gay-rights activists and the Manhattan Declaration app—ignoring the beliefs of nearly 500,000 Manhattan Declaration signers, 43,000 petitioners, and every orthodox Christian. But there is something even more offensive about Apple's decision to deny the Manhattan Declaration an app in their iTunes Store.

Bold to Speak as We Should
These days it’s not uncommon for any believer who invokes the Bible or the name of the Lord in the public square to be shouted down or hooted at for his brazenness.

Judging Marriage, again

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	The disastrously decided case that ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional (the law defines marriage as between one man and one woman) will now go before the 9th Circuit. Will lending your voice to the discussion make a difference? Yes!

Standing for Marriage
Iowans removed three members of their state’s Supreme Court, the same court which voted to overturn a ban on gay marriage. But that court’s decision still stands – at least for now. California is next, and, soon enough, the whole issue of what constitutes marriage in America will be before the Supreme Court of the land.

Thank God For Religious Freedom

	Make sure you thank God for your freedom this Thanksgiving Day—because God created us for freedom. And remember, religious freedom is good for all--so that all may be free.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving and Christmas have become a sort of megalopolis of holidays – beginning with a feast of food on Thursday, a feast of shopping on Friday, and a feast of getting-and-spending for the rest of the year. Well, perhaps we should address this situation?

For God's Sake, Repent!

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	Chuck Colson says to stop blaming liberals for the mess America is in. The American Church should look in the mirror and change its ways. And in the end, we should repent not for our own benefit, but for God's sake.

Recommended Book

Lord, is it I?
If American society is good at anything, it's deflecting blame. We find a way to blame liberals, conservatives, our President, or anyone else, but never ourselves. Should the Church shoulder some blame for our current predicaments?

Are you ready to sacrifice?

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 05:00:00 +0000

	Voters sent a clear message to Washington: Cut government spending. But do the American people have the stomach for making the kinds of sacrifices it will take to put our fiscal house in order? Chuck Colson isn’t so sure.

Republicans should celebrate quickly and get back to work

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	Republicans enjoyed major victories in last nights elections. There's no doubt they're excited about taking control of the House of Representatives and scoring big in the Senate. Chuck Colson offers a bit of advice for them: beware of arrogance. If Republicans think they can skate by without making genuine, constructive change, then their impressive numbers will be short lived.

Politically Homeless

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	Both major political parties have largely ignored what many call Christian, or "social," issues. It's time that Christians take action and make sure that our voices are heard come Election Day.

Talking Points

Recommended Book

This One Matters
There’s a good deal of mistrust, anger, and disgruntlement in the air. What is the Christian’s motive for political action? For voting? It must be to glorify God and to seek His Kingdom and righteousness.

Chilean Miners: a Parable for the Church

	Imagine being trapped in total darkness for 17 days 2800 feet underground, and waiting another 52 days to be rescued. How would you survive? Find out how the Chilean miners did it, and what it means for the Church.

The Whole World Watched
From around the world we watched with anticipation as 33 Chilean miners were hoisted out of a crumbled mine, one at a time, all safe and sound. But why should we care about "happy endings?"

Should Christians Care About Politics?

billy_atwell@pfm.org (Chuck Colson) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:00:00 +0000

{byline}{actionbar}

	Politics is a nasty business, but that does not mean Christians are exempt from working to make political change. We must work to ensure that our Judeo-Christian foundation remains.

Recommended Book

Do Not Grow Weary
Christians do not have the luxury of ignoring politics. We must speak the truth in confidence in all of life; even in politics.
