“If there is no absolute beyond man's ideas, then there is no final appeal to judge between individuals and groups whose moral judgments conflict. We are merely left with conflicting opinions.”

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

“Come away, my dear brethren, fly, fly, fly for your lives to Jesus Christ; fly to a bleeding God, fly to a throne of grace; and beg of God to break your heart; beg of God to convince you of your actual sins; beg of God to convince you of your original sin; beg of God to convince you of your self-righteousness; beg of God to give you faith, and to enable you to close with Jesus Christ.”

“A fish is free as long as it stays in the water. If it suddenly declares that it wants its freedom to fly in the air like a bird, disaster occurs. A train is free as long as it stays on the track. However, if it demands freedom to take off down a major highway, the result is destruction and devastation. We too can only experience true freedom in its fullest if we remain within the framework of freedom. Often this requires accepting responsibility and practicing discipline.”
