Any denomination or church group that forsakes inerrancy will end up shipwrecked. It is impossible to prevent the surrender of other important doctrinal teachings of the Word of God when inerrancy is gone.

More quotes by Francis Schaeffer
The ordinary Christian with the Bible in his hand can say that the majority is wrong.
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
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
Sometimes the greatest deterrent to a great marriage is believing you have a perfect marriage.
Francis Schaeffer
Modern man has both feet firmly planted in mid-air
Francis Schaeffer
The spiritual battle, the loss of victory, is always in the thought-world.
Francis Schaeffer
The central problem is always in the midst of the people of God, not in the circumstances surrounding them.
Francis Schaeffer
Most people catch their presuppositions from their family and surrounding society the way a child catches measles. But people with more understanding realize that their presuppositions should be chosen after a careful consideration of what world-view is true.
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
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
So our building of the visible Church becomes much like any natural business function, using natural means and natural motives.
Francis Schaeffer
In God's world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual.
Francis Schaeffer
Truth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless.
Francis Schaeffer
A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God. An art work can be a doxology in itself.
Francis Schaeffer
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute.
Francis Schaeffer
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.
Francis Schaeffer
...that is our calling: to show that there is a reality in personal relationship, and not just words about it.
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
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
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
