More quotes by Francis Schaeffer

Francis Schaeffer

Francis Schaeffer
The church is something beautiful
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
Belief does not change what is.
Francis Schaeffer
Most people catch their presuppositions from their family and surrounding society the way a child catches measles.
