The Bible's power rests upon the fact that it is the reliable, errorless, and infallible Word of God.
Charles ColsonI know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.
Charles ColsonKnowing that we are fulfilling God's purpose is the only thing that gives rest to the restless human heart.
Charles ColsonWhat is true has never been a question to be decided by polls or popular opinion. Truth isnโt โdemocraticโโitโs something that God has written into the very fabric of nature.
Charles ColsonNo, you can take it from an expert in cover-ups-I've lived through Watergate-that nothing less than a resurrected Christ could have caused those men to maintain to their dying whispers that Jesus is alive and is Lord. Two thousand years later, nothing less than the power of the risen Christ could inspire Christians around the world to remain faithful-despite prison, torture, and death.
