God blessed many of us greatly during our formative years as Christians through the writings and wisdom of Francis Schaeffer. Dr. Schaeffer wrote the following prayer-poem five decades ago, but its basic thrust remains just as urgent today as then. (Ray Ortlund reminds us of this poem in one of his blog postings from last week.) May the Lord indeed shake the world again.
To eat, to breathe
to beget
Is this all there is
Chance configuration of atom against atom
of god against god
I cannot believe it.
Come, Christian Triune God who lives,
Here am I
Shake the world again.
Francis Schaeffer, Christianity Today, 20 June 1960, page 6.
