True spirituality consists in living moment to moment by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Our relationship with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful - Christian community is the final apologetic.
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
The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Truth carries with it confrontation.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
I am afraid that as evangelicals, we think that a work of art only has value if we reduce it to a tract.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life.
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
You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor. If our confidence in God had to depend upon our confidence in any human person, we would be on shifting sand.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The Bible is clear here: I am to love my neighbor as myself, in the manner needed, in a practical way, in the midst of the fallen world, at my particular point of history. This is why I am not a pacifist. Pacifism in this poor world in which we live -- this lost world -- means that we desert the people who need our greatest help.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Apostasy must be called what it is, spiritual adultery.
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.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God. An art work can be a doxology in itself.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Truth always carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation loving confrontation nevertheless. If our reflex action is always accommodation regardless of the centrality of the truth involved, there is something wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The church's or Christian group's methods are as important as its message.
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.
