We attended a fundraiser last night for a local Classical Christian School that had Chuck Colson as the key speaker. While I have heard Mr. Colson on the radio before, I have never paid too much attention to him. But I must say that he is a very dynamic and powerful speaker. He spoke on the importance of training our children to defend truth. He hammered the modern postmodern mindset that will not define truth, and emphasized the importance of Christians participating in the ongoing dialogue. He is big into Biblical Worldview and stated that his dream is to be able to argue the case for a biblical worldview in the US Supreme Court. He was confident that he could argue that the Biblical Worldview is the only way of living that is logical, and that he could beat out any opposing views. He did chide that with the present court he would still probably get a few dissenting votes, but not with any fair court. I was impressed with his passion for a Godly generation to take over and found him to be very knowledgeable and articulate.
One interesting thing about his speech was that he devoted about five minutes to outlining the importance of the church's battle against Islam. He came out so strong against Islam that I think most people were a bit taken back. There is a serious flaw in the modern church's thinking towards Islam (and judaism to an extent) to the point that many "evangelicals" (think George Bush) believe that Christians worship the same god as the muslims. Anyways, I was very encouraged by Mr. Colson.
