Quote

Eternity will be wonderful, but there is one thing heaven will not contain, and that is the call, the possibility, and the privilege of living a supernatural life here and now by faith, before we meet Jesus face to face.

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.

Just because something is beautifully written does not mean it is true.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The moral absolutes rest upon God's character. The moral commands He has given to men are an expression of His character. Men as created in His image are to live by choice on the basis of what God is. The standards of morality are determined by what conforms to His character, while those things which do not conform are immoral.
Francis Schaeffer

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.

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
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.
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
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
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
In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
True spirituality consists in living moment to moment by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Modern man has not only thrown away Christian theology, he has thrown away the possibility of what our forefathers had as a basis for morality and law.

Modern man has both feet firmly planted in mid-air

This equation of the impersonal plus time plus chance producing the total configuration of the universe and all that is in it, modern people hold by faith.

Sometimes the greatest deterrent to a great marriage is believing you have a perfect marriage.
