Brannon Howse: Aired on March 29, 2011

Topic One: Marvin Olasky says his mention of Jesus was edited from Glenn Beck TV program on Beck’s website. Topic Two: Washington Post features article on how Chuck Colson is looking to clone himself so “Christianity does not die when he does.” The article says that Colson has people who have paid “as much as $4,000-reading the books Colson reads, watching the movies he watches, praying the way he prays…Colson believes that his views about the inerrancy of the Bible and Jesus’s role as the only path to salvation aren’t being taught—not in schools and not in churches. Instead, he laments, those essential, unchanging tents are being replaced by a seeker-driven Christianity-lite, something not far from secularism and relativism.” If Mr. Colson is so worried about the “seeker-driven Christianity-lite, then why has he developed a curriculum with Rick Warren? If he is worried about Jesus not being taught as the only way then why did help write and then sign the Evangelicals and Catholics Together document back in 1994? For those that attend Colson’s training “the required reading list includes…works by classic evangelical thinkers such as C.S. Lewis.” Why is Colson having them read Lewis if he is worried about people compromising on the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Lewis wrote about Buddhist who “belong to Christ without knowing it.” What does the lack of discernment and Biblical understanding on the part of our Christian leaders say about those that follow them and the state of the American church?
