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
Sometimes the greatest deterrent to a great marriage is believing you have a perfect marriage.
Francis Schaeffer
We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.
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
God has ordained the state as a delegated authority it is not autonomous. The state is to be an agent of justice, to restrain evil by punishing the wrongdoer, and to protect the good in society. When it does the reverse, it has no proper authority. It is then a usurped authority and as such it becomes lawless and is tyranny.
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 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
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
One of the greatest injustices we do to our young people is to ask them to be conservative. Christianity is not conservative, but revolutionary.
Francis Schaeffer
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
The ordinary Christian with the Bible in his hand can say that the majority is wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth carries with it confrontation.
Francis Schaeffer
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
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
Francis Schaeffer
