June 15, 2021: Christianity Today: The lasting contribution of Francis Schaeffer
In my early days as a Christian one of the most influential figures around was the theologian, philosopher, pastor and preacher Francis Schaeffer. I have always valued his books and regret that I didn't spend time with him at L'Abri.

“If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the Living God.” – “A Christian Manifesto” page 130.

“We must stress that the basis for our faith is neither experience nor emotion but truth as God has given it in verbalized, propositional form in the Scripture and which we first apprehend with our minds.”  Francis Schaeffer
