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

Apostasy must be called what it is, spiritual adultery.
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
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
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.

There is no place in God's world where there are no people who will come and share a home as long as it is a real home.

... you are not Christ's disciple, in the sense of following him, if this is not your way of life: rejected and slain daily!

There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion.

What we, the Christian community, have to do is to refuse men the right to ravish our land, just as we refuse them the right to ravish our women to insist that somebody accepts a little less profit by not exploiting nature.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
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 Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just 'dogmatically' true or 'doctrinally' true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.

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.

Just because something is beautifully written does not mean it is true.
Francis Schaeffer
Image
In fact, philosophy is universal in scope. No man can live without a world view therefore, there is no man who is not a philosopher.

Jesus taught that the mark of the Christian is the observable love shown among all true believers.

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.

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.

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.

We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful.
