Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Hudson Taylor said, The Lord's work done in the Lord's way will never fail to have the Lord's provision. ...The Lord's work done in human energy is not the Lord's work any longer. It is something, but it is not the Lord's work.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
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
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.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just 'dogmatically' true or 'doctrinally' true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Art is a reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is a sad myth going around today - the myth of neutrality. According to this myth, the secular world gives every point of view an equal chance to be heard. And it works fairly well - unless you are a Christian.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
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
Modern man has not only thrown away Christian theology, he has thrown away the possibility of what our forefathers had as a basis for morality and law.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Jesus taught that the mark of the Christian is the observable love shown among all true believers.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
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
Image
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
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
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
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.
