Francis Schaeffer: The Man and His Message
The life and ministry of Francis Schaeffer has been a keen interest of mine for many years. As I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago, my dad was born and raised in Villars, Switzerland, only a couple of miles from L’Abri. I remember going to hear Francis Schaeffer preach on Sunday mornings when we would visit my father’s family. I also remember seeing the Schaeffer’s at my grandparents home on a fairly regular basis. There’s so much about the man and the calling God placed on his life that continues to intrigue me some 23 years after his death.
Anyway, I found this article tonight (I don’t how I missed it before) by Jerram Barrs that I hope you enjoy. There’s so much we can still learn from Schaeffer: his love for God, for truth, for people, for culture. This article will help you get to know Schaeffer. Read it. You’ll be glad.
