When Chuck Colson went to prison in 1974 after the Watergate scandal, there were approximately 239,000 Americans in our penal institutions. Today that figure has risen to an astounding 2.3 million. Ask Mr. Colson why and he’ll tell you that the “real reason we’re building prisons” is because of the lack of moral training and education.
To help stem the tide of this moral breakdown, Mr. Colson launched Breakpoint, “a Christian worldview ministry that seeks to build and resource a movement of Christians committed to living and defending Christian worldview in all areas of life.”
Twenty years ago Breakpoint began as a daily radio broadcast. It has since grown into a vibrant online community with feature articles by leading Christian writers.
Breakpoint is celebrating its 20-year anniversary this month with a contest. If founder Chuck Colson has impacted your life or worldview in any way, you can enter by posting a video, photo, poem, or … anything on your Facebook wall and tagging Breakpoint.
