More quotes by Francis Schaeffer

Image
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.

Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life.
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
Christian art today should be twentieth-century art.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
If there is no absolute moral standard, then one cannot say in a final sense that anything is right or wrong.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.
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
Humanism is not wrong in its cry for sociological healing, but humanism is not producing it.
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
Some psychological and sociological conditioning occurs in every man's life and this affects the decisions he makes. But we must resist the modern concept that all sin can be explained merely on the basis of conditioning.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
The Christian in the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
In the 20th century, evangelical Christians in America have naively accepted the role assigned to us by an anti-religious, anti-Christian consensus in our society. We have been relegated to a cultural backwater, where we are meant to paddle around content in the knowledge that we are merely allowed to exist.

Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital 'T.' Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality - and the intellectual holding of that total Truth and then living in the light of that Truth.
