I was just thinking of him and wondering when he would ascend. I pray for his family.

Ah, well, those who remain behind must mourn his passing, but I’m sure he’d a thousand times rather be dead and with the Lord than staying on earth. Right now he’s hearing, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” What greater joy?

This was a very good man and a great and noble Christian. As a Catholic I mourn his passing, because he helped bring us together with our evangelical brothers.

Aw....I’m very sad to read this, so sad.

He is now with the Lord. Job well done, brother Coulson. See you on the other side.

Prayers for his family, who grieve.

"There's one way and that's when a man turns his life over to Jesus Christ."

Yes, Lord, yes!

Accept the soul of this humble servant into your everlasting fellowship, Lord God! Amen!

He was one of those giants in Christendom that persuaded me so much over the years about what was truly good and worthy.

Get ready for the MSM to drag out that old Watergate incident and drag Colson and other members of the Nixon Administration through the mud and pretend that the Watergate matter was a big event orchestrated by Republicans.

One of the worst to one of the greatest of our time. A brilliant and bold man of the faith. He kept his word to those in prison, and was solid in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” (Psalm 116:15)

I am saddened by his passing, yet heartened to know that Chuck Colson is now with the Lord that he loved so much. Not only did he bring the Evangelicals and Catholics together under the Lordship of Jesus, he was the perfect example of humbly letting God make something wonderful and lasting out of a ruined life. And God did; his legacy will go on for a long time. RIP, dear brother. You will be missed.

Prison Fellowship as of 1:04 AM (same time as this report) said he was still alive, and reports of his death are wrong.
