“Christian thinker Francis Schaeffer asked “How should we then live?” in a landmark book by the same title “

. Schaeffer did a 10 part TV series on this book back in the 70’s which was just brilliant. It greatly shaped my theologica, philosophical and apologetic outlook. It’s on YouTube and WELL worth watching.

Thank you for posting this. I have and have read Schaeffer’s book and opened a number of times to clearly remember one or two of his insights. Also, the prayers quoted stir my heart in a fresh way.

The website logos houses some excellent bible study software. I use the lexham bible from them.

#1 should read; PREPARE TO BE PERSECUTED. read every book you can about persecution of Christians. Christians in Egypt have been persecuted by Muslims for 1,400 years. It is insanity to think we are exempt for some reason.

New Testament Christians lived in a non-Christian world.

As usual, we can learn from them by reading and praying the Bible, and by attending Bible-based services and receiving the Sacraments!!!!

[Psalm 73]

"Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you" 1 Peter 4:12

Or to paraphrase Timothy: "Suck it up, tough it out" 2 Timothy 2:3
