Our readings in this series are from the book, The Church Captive. Here is a brief excerpt from page 56:
“Jesus, Schaeffer insisted, had given the world the right to judge the reality and value of our faith by the degree of unity and love we shared with one another. In the absence of that, the watching world simply blew off the faith and its moral and cultural heritage, and struck out on its own, wearing the blinders of materialism, sensualism, and narcissism.
“What Schaeffer referred to as ‘the final apologetic’ – the mutual love and unity between believers – was neglected or ignored, giving the world the right to consider either that we are not truly Christian, or that Christianity itself is not true.”
Now, and for a limited time, you can order The Church Captive together with the next book in our Read Moore series, Revived!, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. A free discussion guide is available as well.
