Quote by 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 (January 30, 1912 – May 15, 1984) was an American evangelical theologian, apologist, and writer, best known for founding L'Abri, a Christian community in Switzerland. Born in Pennsylvania, he initially embraced fundamentalism but later engaged with broader cultural issues. Schaeffer emphasized the integration of Christian worldview with philosophy, art, and society, critiquing modern secularism. His works, such as 'Escape from Reason' and 'The God Who Is There,' address spiritual crises of modern individuals. Through L'Abri, he influenced countless intellectuals and seekers. Schaeffer's legacy endures in evangelical cultural criticism and apologetics. more

It was courage and strength, and something else too, as if he were standing with her, as if he'd taken her within himself, letting her rest her entire body for a moment on his backbone, her mind in his mind, her heart in the fire of his. The fire of Brigan's heart was astounding. Fire understood, and almost could not believe, that the feeling he was sending her was love.”

“Through an arrow loop in the wall she saw a familiar horse and rider tearing across the camp toward the healing rooms. Brigan pulled up at Nash's feet and dropped from the saddle. The two brothers threw their arms around each other and embraced hard. Shortly thereafter he stepped into the healing rooms and leaned in the doorway, looking across at her quietly. Brocker's son with the gentle gray eyes. She abandoned all pretense of decorum and ran at him.”
