The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.
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.
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

Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched.
Francis Schaeffer
