Image result for picture of C. Colson in prison

After a Prison term the late Chuck Colson was ministering in prisons all over the world.

In Colson and Yancey p.143 we have his summation of her experience with this young boy, "God knew when He created Max that he would need extra help in this world., so God keeps His Hands cupped around Max. He doesn't let him go. I know that wherever Max is, God is holding him gently in His hands. How could a child who is held by God be anything but a gift?" How Precious!Max was born after a frightening long labour and difficult birth. He just loves people and is at hit happiest when in the middle of a group of other kids.

The fact is that Max has touched more lives than any other little guy I know. But Max is exactly the kind of child that the modern eugenics crowd would snuff out while still in the womb - or, if his "defect" couldn't be detected there, then on the delivery table. Or even if others had their way, in the first weeks of life.

The truth is that the culture of death has taken a firm grip on the minds and hearts of otherwise responsible people in every walk of life.

Christians need to form a front-line of defence for the young Maxes of this world.
Deformity of the SOUL.
The real Problem is not the deformity of the body; it's the deformity of the soul.

In a word, it's SIN. Anyone who harbours an idealistic urge to improve the human race out to look not to eugenics as Hitler did, BUT TO THE MEANS FOR HEALING THE HUMAN SINFUL HEART. divine healing. Word Origin. noun. healing through divine intervention as in response to prayer or because of faith. a method employing prayer or faith in the hope of receiving such healing.

Yet the very notion of SIN is unpalatable to the modern mind.
As a result, many of the brightest Western Thinkers have constructed a great Myth to avoid facing the truth about Sin and Guilt. This myth, more than anything else, has brought unimaginable havoc and misery to this world.

No.9. How did the whole Universe Begin?

Notes from Colson p.57 -67 Scientists have completely reversed their theories in the past few decades. They thought for ages that the Physical Universe was eternal and therefore needs no 'creator'. Now they postulate that the universe did have an ultimate origin and that it began at a finite time in the past - just as the Bible teaches. Many ancient cultures believed that the material from which the Universe came was eternal. However, today "the indestructibility or permanence of matter" is a scientific fact" wrote a 19th Century proponent of materialism. For many years that is how things stood. Any thought of a Creator and the earth having a beginning was just bare religious faith standing in lonely opposition to established science. Now in the 20th Century several sources of new evidence appeared : the implications from general relativity theory that the Universe is expanding; that some stars exhibit "red shift", implying that they are moving out...

No. 19. Brave New Babies

Notes from 'How Now shall we live', by C. Colson and N. Pearcey. pps 126-128 Why is our thinking so degraded when what I am is determined by what other people think I should be.

To ensure the unfettered pursuit of happiness , free sex is encouraged, and all purpose drug will be available.

No.15 Who is this Guy?

How Now Shall We live? By C. Colson and N. Pearcey p. 97. In William Steig's Yellow & Pink. a delightfully whimsical picture book for children, two wooden figures wake up and ask, " Do you know what we're doing here?" So begins the debate between two marionettes over the Origin of their existence. Pink surveys their well formed features and concludes, " Someone must have made us. " Yellow disagrees. " I say that we're an accident," and he outlines the hypothetical scenario of how it might have happened. A branch might have broken off a tree and fallen on a sharp rock, splitting one end of the branch into two legs. Then the wind might have sent it tumbling down the a hill until it was chipped and shaped. Perhaps a flash of lightning struck in such a way as to splinter the wood into arms and fingers. Eyes might have been formed by woodpeckers boring in the wood. "With enough time, a thousand, a million, maybe two million and...
