Chuck Colson was an example of redemption done right. No fleeting contrition, no deathbed conversions, just the realization that this world is temporary and its glories fade.

I believe he'll be welcomed Up Yonder.

After having his reputation destroyed by the Washington Post and the rest of the MSM and being framed and sent to prison by indictive Democrats, it is amazing he could find forgiveness.

Rest in Peace ... You left a witness of redemption

Here is a tribute, Chuck Colson’s comments on one of my favorite Star Trek episodes - Bread and Circuses:

The headlines didn’t have “KKK Member”, after former U.S. Senator, Robert Byrd, died.

Almighty God,
we remember before you today your faithful servant Charles;
and we pray that,
having opened to him the gates of larger life,
you will receive him more and more into your joyful service,
that,
with all who have faithfully served you in the past,
he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ,
the Risen Lord,
AMEN.

Chuck Colson learned a lesson that fewer and fewer people learn nowadays: It is not how much money you make, how high you rise in politics, how many groups of letters you have behind your name or how powerful you are in this life, Chuck learned that the worth in a man’s life is how many lives he has touched in a positive way. I wonder just how many lost and forgotten men’s lives were changed from wicked to the good because of Chuck Colson prison ministry

Chuck died as one of the richest men that has come our way in my lifetime.

This is the dude who said he’d walk over his own grandmother to get Nixon reelected.

Hmmm...
