Trashing Francis Schaeffer's Legacy
When Frank Schaeffer, son of the famous evangelical thinker, Francis Schaeffer, calls his father's writings worse than Barrack Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright's rantings, evangelicals were taken back apace.
Now seen as an "agnostic," Frank Schaeffer is leading the pack of those apostatizing from the Christian faith. He's also released a popular book that rags on his parents and his parents' faith, called "Crazy for God."
In this segment of Generations, Kevin Swanson compares the beautiful legacy of generational faithfulness with the shameful and destructive effects coming from generational apostasy. Throughout history, the greatest men and the most infamous are often linked to a heritage of faith. But how does it happen? How do children walk away from the faith? We've seen it happen, and the results are devastating. Here are some powerful historical observations to which the prudent should take note.
