Monthly Bible Study Article

Becoming Salt and Light

How is your seasoning?

One of the key objectives of Francis Schaeffer's work was to help Christians think and process who they are in Christ. In so doing, one would look at God's precepts and then work them out so he could better be salt and light in the world in which we live. Schaeffer found, both as a pastor and in his early personal practice of Christianity, too much shallowness, preoccupation with trivialities, and what he saw as "irrationality."

We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too.
