The late Dr. Francis Schaeffer spoke of developments in western history whereby our culture passed over a "line of despair" in view of the collapse of a Christian consensus. This occurred in Europe around 1890 and in the USA by about 1935. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows how those who abandon Christian faith and embrace a humanistic or pagan world view find a sense of despair that ultimately permeates all of life. This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, PA (www.firstchurchopc.org) on November 15, 2015. First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.
