More quotes by Francis Schaeffer
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.
Francis Schaeffer
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
The church's or Christian group's methods are as important as its message.
Francis Schaeffer
Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
Francis Schaeffer
There would have been no Bach had there been no Luther.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.
Francis Schaeffer
Art is a reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.
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
Apostasy must be called what it is, spiritual adultery.
Francis Schaeffer
Things, things, things. Always more things, and success is seen as the abundance of things.
Francis Schaeffer
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
What we, the Christian community, have to do is to refuse men the right to ravish our land, just as we refuse them the right to ravish our women to insist that somebody accepts a little less profit by not exploiting nature.
Francis Schaeffer
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
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
Belief does not change what is.
Francis Schaeffer
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
There are two main reasons why we may not be bringing forth the fruit we should. It may be because of ignorance, because we may never have been taught the meaning of the work of Christ for our present lives.
Francis Schaeffer
Just because something is beautifully written does not mean it is true.
Francis Schaeffer
There is no use of Evangelicalism seeming to get larger and larger, if at the same time appreciable parts of Evangelicalism are getting soft at that which is the central core, namely the Scriptures.
Francis Schaeffer
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
