For many, it's not just a regular voting season--it's a history defining, country shaping, future impacting vote. And with so much of the nation focusing on November 2, Chuck Colson is making sure your listeners understand the worldview within the arena of politics. It's a clash of faith and culture.

In a 26:00 program, Chuck Colson explores the trends of this political season in relation to our faith--it's not simply a candidate, proposition or regulation. It's an opportunity for us to put into practice our worldview in this country. That's what it all ...

As a child, I was forced to learn Chinese characters.  My parents told me that it would be "good for me." Little did I know what they really meant! Knowing some of the basic Chinese characters was beneficial not only for understanding the language, but it helped me understand the Chinese (and by extension the Korean) culture. 

You may have already known this, but some Chinese characters were developed in a pictographic form - the characters looked like the object they represented.  For example, the character for 'fire', 火, is a pictographic representation of two flames above a pair of logs ...

How do you convince a non-believer today that Jesus was God? Over 2,000 years ago there were many people who watched Him heal the sick, raise the dead, and subdue demons ... yet they didn't believe!

Of course, be sure ...

My brother called this weekend to ask about Thanksgiving plans.  

Thanksgiving plans? But it's only October.  

But as we started to talk through realities-school schedules, children's sporting events, work and my trip to Africa the last week of November, I realized, that actually, it's not too early to start talking about Thanksgiving.

This weekend I attended the "Make A Difference" concert with Max Lucado.  The concert was an incredible experience filled with upbeat and uplifting music by TobyMac, Third Day and Michael W. Smith.  The musicians skillfully ushered everyone into heartfelt worship as they consistently gave God the glory.  What stood out to me the most, however, was Pastor Max's presentation of God's "plan A" solution for the problem of poverty and the caring of orphans and widows - the Church! 

"Compassion is the Church's best apologetic," he said.  I couldn't agree more!

While on the center stage, Max ...
