Text Quotes
If there is no absolute by which to judge society, society is absolute  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) We must not only be True. We must be Beautiful  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Modern man has both feet firmly planted in mid-air  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) The church is something beautiful  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) 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  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) He who loses the arts loses the culture  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Doctrinal rightness and rightness of ecclesiastical position are important, but only as a starting point to go on into a living relationship - and not as ends in themselves  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) One of the greatest injustices we do to our young people is to ask them to be conservative. Christianity is not conservative, but revolutionary  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) 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 Quotes) In God’s world the individual counts. Therefore, Christian art should deal with the individual  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Christian art is the expression of the whole life of the whole person as a Christian. What a Christian portrays in his art is the totality of life. Art is not to be solely a vehicle for some sort of self-conscious evangelism  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor. If our confidence in God had to depend upon our confidence in any human person, we would be on shifting sand  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) In two areas above all others the Christian demonstration of love and communication stands clear: in the area of the Christian couple and their children; and in the personal relationships of Christians in the church. If there is no demonstration in these two places, on the personal level, the world can conclude that orthodox Christian doctrine is nothing but dead, cold words  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) I hesitate to add, but I will, that this is fun. God means Christianity to be fun. There is to be a reality of love and communication in the Christian-to-Christian relationship, individually and corporately, which is completely and truly personal  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) All men bear the image of God. They have value not because they are redeemed, but because they are God’s creation in God’s image.  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Man, made in the image of God, has a purpose - to be in relationship to God, who is there. Man forgets his purpose and thus he forgets who he is and what life means  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Isolating the student from large sections of human knowledge is not the basis of a Christian education. Rather it is giving him or her the framework for total truth, rooted in the Creator’s existence and in the Bible’s teaching, so that in each step of the formal learning process the student will understand what is true and what is false and why it is true or false  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) We cannot deal with people like human beings, we cannot deal with them on the high level of true humanity, unless we really know their origin-who they are. God tells man who he is. God tells us that He created man in His image. So man is something wonderful  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) Doctrinal rightness and rightness of ecclesiastical position are important, but only as a starting point to go on into a living relationship - and not as ends in themselves.  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Christianity believes that God has created an external world that is really there; and because He is a reasonable God, one can expect to be able to find the order of the universe by reason.  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Truth carries with it confrontation  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Christianity provides a unified answer for the whole of life  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or compassion  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Truth demands confrontation. It must be loving confrontation, but there must be confrontation nonetheless  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Christianity is the greatest intellectual system the mind of man has ever touched  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes) Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless  (Francis Schaeffer Quotes)
