Quote

When my conscience under the Holy Spirit makes me aware of a specific sin I should at once call that sin sin and bring it consciously under the blood of Christ.

To die is to be with the Lord. It is not just an idea, it is a reality.
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
There would have been no Bach had there been no Luther.
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
We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism. This is so because humanists, having no god, must put something at the center, and it is inevitably society, government, or the state.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.
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
If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the living God.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.
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
Belief does not change what is.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Jesus taught that the mark of the Christian is the observable love shown among all true believers.
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
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.
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
Image
Christianity believes that God has created an external world that is really there and because He is a reasonable God, one can expect to be able to find the order of the universe by reason.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
In the 20th century, evangelical Christians in America have naively accepted the role assigned to us by an anti-religious, anti-Christian consensus in our society. We have been relegated to a cultural backwater, where we are meant to paddle around content in the knowledge that we are merely allowed to exist.
Francis Schaeffer

There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
Francis Schaeffer

So our building of the visible Church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means and natural motives.
