More quotes by Francis Schaeffer
Our trusting the Lord does not mean that there are not times of tears. I think it is a mistake as Christians to act as though trusting the Lord and tears are not compatible.
Francis Schaeffer
The Christian in the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.
Francis Schaeffer
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
The modern concept of separation is an argument for a total separation of religion from the state. The consequence of the acceptance of the doctrine leads to the removal of religion as an influence in civil government.
Francis Schaeffer
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
In fact, philosophy is universal in scope. No man can live without a world view therefore, there is no man who is not a philosopher.
Francis Schaeffer
The Lord is the General, and he has the right . . . the sovereign right . . . to put us where he wants in the battle.
Francis Schaeffer
In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
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
Truth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless.
Francis Schaeffer
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
Sometimes the greatest deterrent to a great marriage is believing you have a perfect marriage.
Francis Schaeffer
Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital 'T.' Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality - and the intellectual holding of that total Truth and then living in the light of that Truth.
Francis Schaeffer
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
There is no place in God's world where there are no people who will come and share a home as long as it is a real home.
Francis Schaeffer
Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
Francis Schaeffer
The arbitrary division between church and state... is used, as an easily identifiable rallying point, to subdue the opinions of that vast body of citizens who represent those with religious convictions.
Francis Schaeffer
We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.
Francis Schaeffer
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
As evangelical Christians we have tended to relegate art to the very fringe of life. The rest of human life we feel is more important. Despite our constant talk about the Lordship of Christ, we have narrowed its scope to a very small area of reality.
Francis Schaeffer
