Francis Schaeffer

“Apathy is the great sin of the twentieth century.”

“Truth carries with it confrontation. Truth demands confrontation; loving confrontation, but confrontation nevertheless.”

“The universe was created by an infinite-personal God. It is not a machine, not a thing. It is a work of art.”

“The Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It is the only final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”

“How should we then live?”

“The beginning of men’s rebellion against God was, and is, the lack of a thankful heart.”

“The modern man has his feet firmly planted in mid-air.”

“Biblical Christianity is not a series of disconnected statements. It is a total world view, a unity of thought.”

“Every work of art is a product of its time. It is a value-judgment on the world in which the artist lives.”

“Each man is morally responsible for his own acts. To say that he is not is to deny his humanity.”

“The Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.”

“There is a flow to history and culture. This flow is rooted and has its wellspring in the thoughts of people.”

“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 is lost.”

“We are not to be silent in the face of evil. We have a responsibility to speak out.”

“In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insisted upon by the devotees of the new pluralism, namely, that there are no absolutes.”
