A lot of people and much of the media will remember Chuck Colson who died last Saturday for his crimes to do with Watergate but I will remember him for being faithful.Chuck was committed to what the Bible taught about visiting those in prison as if you were visiting Jesus himself. When Chuck Colson left prison, he promised to remember the men who remained behind bars. “I will never forget you guys!” he told them.
And for 36 years, Chuck faithfully kept his word.In 1976, he founded Prison Fellowship, a ministry dedicated to living out Jesus’ command to remember the incarcerated and share the transformational love of Jesus Christ with them and their families.
“I could never, ever have left prison and accomplished what has been accomplished but for God doing it through me,” Chuck once said.
God Bless Chuck Colson, and God Bless his family.
What do you think?
Until next time,
