...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
As Christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true.

Art is a reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
So our building of the visible Church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means and natural motives.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
To die is to be with the Lord. It is not just an idea, it is a reality.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
One of the greatest injustices we do to our young people is to ask them to be conservative. Christianity is not conservative, but revolutionary.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Modern man has both feet firmly planted in mid-air
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The soul is not more important than the body. God made the whole man and the whole man is important.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Truth carries with it confrontation.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Any denomination or church group that forsakes inerrancy will end up shipwrecked. It is impossible to prevent the surrender of other important doctrinal teachings of the Word of God when inerrancy is gone.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The difference between Christian thinking and the non-Christian philosopher has always been at this point. The non-Christian philosopher has always said that man is normal now, but biblical Christianity says he is abnormal now.
