The single biggest challenge in the church today is helping the faithful understand that the Christian life is about far more than simply attending church and fulfilling the great commission. While Christians are indeed agents of God's saving grace in bringing others to Christ, we are also agents of his common grace in sustaining and renewing his creation and defending the created institutions of family and society.

That's where Charles Colson comes in.
