Image
Christ's crucifixion was on a hill, by a road, where everybody who passed by could not only see his pain, but also his shame. It was not done in a shadow, hidden away somewhere.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
What we, the Christian community, have to do is to refuse men the right to ravish our land, just as we refuse them the right to ravish our women to insist that somebody accepts a little less profit by not exploiting nature.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Reformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Some psychological and sociological conditioning occurs in every man's life and this affects the decisions he makes. But we must resist the modern concept that all sin can be explained merely on the basis of conditioning.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Preaching the gospel without the Holy Spirit is to miss the entire point of the command of Jesus Christ for our era. In the area of Christian activities or Christian service, how we are doing it is at least as important as what we are doing.
Francis Schaeffer
Image

Image
There is no use of Evangelicalism seeming to get larger and larger, if at the same time appreciable parts of Evangelicalism are getting soft at that which is the central core, namely the Scriptures.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
There are two main reasons why we may not be bringing forth the fruit we should. It may be because of ignorance, because we may never have been taught the meaning of the work of Christ for our present lives.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
It is only as we consciously bring each victory to His feet, and keep it there as we think of it - and especially as we speak of it - that we can avoid the pride of that victory, which can be worse than the sin over which we claim to have had the victory.

Image
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Most people catch their presuppositions from their family and surrounding society the way a child catches measles. But people with more understanding realize that their presuppositions should be chosen after a careful consideration of what world-view is true.

Image
Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.

Just because something is beautifully written does not mean it is true.

Hudson Taylor said, The Lord's work done in the Lord's way will never fail to have the Lord's provision. ...The Lord's work done in human energy is not the Lord's work any longer. It is something, but it is not the Lord's work.

Apostasy must be called what it is, spiritual adultery.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
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
... you are not Christ's disciple, in the sense of following him, if this is not your way of life: rejected and slain daily!
