Quote

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.

In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
I have come to the conclusion that none of us in our generation feels as guilty about sin as we should or as our forefathers did.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Today the separation of church and state in America is used to silence the church. When Christians speak out on issues, the hue and cry from the humanist state and media is that Christians, an all religions, are prohibited from speaking since there is a separation of church and state.
Francis Schaeffer

Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
We cannot deal with people like human beings, we cannot deal with them on the high level of true humanity, unless we really know their origin-who they are. God tells man who he is. God tells us that He created man in His image. So man is something wonderful.
Francis Schaeffer

True spirituality consists in living moment to moment by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Man, made in the image of God, has a purpose - to be in relationship to God, who is there. Man forgets his purpose and thus he forgets who he is and what life means.
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
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
We should not view men with a cynical eye, seeing them only as meaningless products of chance, but, on the other hand, we should not go to the opposite extreme of seeing them romantically. To do either is to fail to understand who men really are--creatures made in the image of God but fallen.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The Christian in the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Art is a reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The one thing the media abhors almost without exception is anyone who takes a firm stand on any issue out of religious principle, unless their stand happens to coincide with their expressed views.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Most people catch their presuppositions from their family and surrounding society the way a child catches measles.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just 'dogmatically' true or 'doctrinally' true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.
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
If I'm going to be in the right relationship with God, I should treat the things he has made in the same way he treats them.
