Francis Schaeffer: The Mark of the Christian

"If the world does not see (our love), it will not believe that Christ was sent by the Father. People will not believe only on the basis of the proper answers. The two should not be placed in antithesis. The world must have the proper answers to their honest questions, but at the same time, there must be a oneness in love between all true Christians. This is what is needed if men are to know that Jesus was sent by the Father and that Christianity is true."

Of course, Schaeffer has disagreement and criticism of the Roman Catholic church. But, imo, this should not obscure the major points he is making in this little book.

Of course, the disagreement is all some will ever want to talk about.

Thank you! Bookmarked, and partly read this far! That’s the spirit- we love Jesus and show that love by loving one another! Though times may be ahead. We are going to have to stand together with courage as followers of Jesus Christ! We need to give one another the love and support it takes to live a Christian life in a secular world! Great post! Thanks again, and my prayers for you, our dear Mrs. D, and all your loved ones! God bless you!
