The modern concept of separation is an argument for a total separation of religion from the state. The consequence of the acceptance of the doctrine leads to the removal of religion as an influence in civil government.

More quotes by Francis Schaeffer
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
Francis Schaeffer
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
Christianity believes that God has created an external world that is really there and because He is a reasonable God, one can expect to be able to find the order of the universe by reason.
Francis Schaeffer
We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.
Francis Schaeffer
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.
Francis Schaeffer
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
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
So our building of the visible Church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means and natural motives.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth always carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation loving confrontation nevertheless. If our reflex action is always accommodation regardless of the centrality of the truth involved, there is something wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
The one thing the media abhors almost without exception is anyone who takes a firm stand on any issue out of religious principle, unless their stand happens to coincide with their expressed views.
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
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
Francis Schaeffer
Just because something is beautifully written does not mean it is true.
Francis Schaeffer
True spirituality consists in living moment to moment by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth carries with it confrontation.
Francis Schaeffer
To die is to be with the Lord. It is not just an idea, it is a reality.
Francis Schaeffer
If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the living God.
Francis Schaeffer
The soul is not more important than the body. God made the whole man and the whole man is important.
Francis Schaeffer
