More quotes by 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
Truth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless.
Francis Schaeffer
Things, things, things. Always more things, and success is seen as the abundance of things.
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
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
There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.
Francis Schaeffer
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.
Francis Schaeffer
In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.
Francis Schaeffer
Christ's crucifixion was on a hill, by a road, where everybody who passed by could not only see his pain, but also his shame. It was not done in a shadow, hidden away somewhere.
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
The church is something beautiful
Francis Schaeffer
If man has been kicked up out of that which is only impersonal by chance , then those things that make him man-hope of purpose and significance, love, motions of morality and rationality, beauty and verbal communication-are ultimately unfulfillable and thus meaningless.
Francis Schaeffer
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.
Francis Schaeffer
And the purpose of our creation, in which all our subsidiary purposes fit, is to be in a personal relationship to God, in communion with him, in love, by choice, the creature before the Creator.
Francis Schaeffer
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
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
To die is to be with the Lord. It is not just an idea, it is a reality.
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
Today the separation of church and state in America is used to silence the church. When Christians speak out on issues, the hue and cry from the humanist state and media is that Christians, an all religions, are prohibited from speaking since there is a separation of church and state.
