More quotes by Francis Schaeffer
We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.
Francis Schaeffer
Jesus taught that the mark of the Christian is the observable love shown among all true believers.
Francis Schaeffer
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
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
If I'm going to be in the right relationship with God, I should treat the things he has made in the same way he treats them.
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
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
The Christian in the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.
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
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
And the purpose of our creation, in which all our subsidiary purposes fit, is to be in a personal relationship to God, in communion with him, in love, by choice, the creature before the Creator.
Francis Schaeffer
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
Sometimes the greatest deterrent to a great marriage is believing you have a perfect marriage.
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
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
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
Francis Schaeffer
To fail to exhibit that we take truth seriously at those points where there is a cost in our doing so, is to push the next generation in the relative, dialectical millstream that surrounds us.
Francis Schaeffer
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.
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
