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.

More quotes by 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
Preaching the gospel without the Holy Spirit is to miss the entire point of the command of Jesus Christ for our era. In the area of Christian activities or Christian service, how we are doing it is at least as important as what we are doing.
Francis Schaeffer
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
Things, things, things. Always more things, and success is seen as the abundance of things.
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
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
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
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
The difference between Christian thinking and the non-Christian philosopher has always been at this point. The non-Christian philosopher has always said that man is normal now, but biblical Christianity says he is abnormal now.
Francis Schaeffer
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
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
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
We should not view men with a cynical eye, seeing them only as meaningless products of chance, but, on the other hand, we should not go to the opposite extreme of seeing them romantically. To do either is to fail to understand who men really are--creatures made in the image of God but fallen.
Francis Schaeffer
Art is a reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we are made in the image of God.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth carries with it confrontation.
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
Reformation is a return to the sound doctrine of the Bible. Revival is the practice of that sound doctrine under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Francis Schaeffer
True spirituality consists in living moment to moment by the grace of Jesus Christ.
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
As Christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true.
Francis Schaeffer
