The Centurion Program

Guys, the main reason I am doing this group with you is because of the year of study I did with the Centurion program, something Chuck Colson started a year ago. Click on the title above to read Colson's description of the program.

Money quote:

This program is urgently needed. One of the reasons the Church is having so little impact on culture today is that too many Christians view their faith only in terms of a personal relationship with Jesus. George Barna’s research backs this up. His 2003 national survey found that only nine percent of born again Christians even hold a biblical worldview. And flawed worldviews have fatal consequences: Barna found that Christians who don’t embrace a biblical worldview are more likely to condone things like premarital cohabitation, homosexuality, adultery, and abortion.

Many Christians believe we change cultures from the top down—get righteous leaders, they think, and you’ll have a righteous society. But throughout history, the greatest movements have started from the bottom up—ordinary people talking with their friends and before their church groups and reaching their kids.
