Death in the City

The death that Schaeffer writes about is more than just physical death -- it is the moral and spiritual death that subtly suffocates truth and meaning and beauty out of the city and the wider culture.  What is the answer that Schaeffer offers in response?  It is commitment to God's Word as truth -- a costly practice in the midst of the intellectual, moral, and philosophical battles of our day.  It is compassion for a world that is lost and dying without the Gospel.  It is yielding our lives to God and allowing Him to bring forth His fruit through us.
