BreakPoint Commentaries

Twelve years ago, I spoke on this program about a novel by P. D. James titled The Children of Men. I said then, “P. D. James . . . seems to be warning us that we might just destroy ourselves from within—if we continue to embrace a culture of death.” It was a great book.

Nothing to Hold On To

America Alone

By Chuck Colson|Published Date:

After September 11, 2001, you may recall that many members of the press were going around asking plaintively, “Why do they hate us?” Some journalists seemed to imply that if we could just be a little nicer, a little more “tolerant,” the jihadists would opt for a group hug instead of terrorism.

All We Like Shepherds

The Hard Truth about Christmas

By Chuck Colson|Published Date:

For most of us, Christmas is a time of great joy, a warm and wonderful family celebration of the birth of our Savior. As we ponder the scene at the manger, however, I doubt many of us think about the impact that starry night had on those who were there. We don’t often recall the slaughter of the innocents in Bethlehem and their parents’ cries of agony. We also probably don’t consider the dramatically changed lives of those humble shepherds who heard the angel’s good news and who heard the heavenly host singing, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men of good will.” How those words must have rung in their ears many years after. How that sight of the infant Messiah must have never left their imagination.

The Elections and Religious Freedom

By Chuck Colson|Published Date:

With the election season is full swing, I’m going to ask you to forget for a moment all the mud-slinging and scandal-mongering that is raging across your television set, coming from both sides. Instead, consider the really serious weighty issues before the American people this fall: the war on terrorism, Iraq, the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, immigration, and so much more. Some politicians are talking about these critical issues—more need to. We need to know where our candidates stand on these questions.

Influencing the Culture through Film

Some churches have soup kitchens, and others have potluck dinners. Then there’s Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Sherwood’s ministry is creating major motion pictures. Yes, you read that right: a church making movies.
