Readers occasionally approach me with requests for links to the articles I wrote for the Chuck Colson Center. From 2011 to 2014, I maintained columns at the Center, usually supplying three articles a month. These articles endeavored to apply the Christian worldview to areas that included art, music, culture, philosophy, relationships and theology.
Earlier this year the Center had to migrate their content over to a new server, and unfortunately they had a limited amount of time in which to do so. Lots of archives were lost during this process, including all of my articles.
Since I still have the files for these articles on my computer, I am trying to upload all of them to this website, retroactively dating them to the time they were originally published. As you will see, I haven’t had time to upload all of them, as this is a project I work on now and again as I have time. Please be patient until all of them are uploaded.
