THE TRIUNE GOD STOOD COMPLETE:

"God created all things of His own free will. He did not have to create. Before creation the triune God stood complete, and there was love and communication between the persons of the Trinity. Revelation 4:11 reads: 'You are worthy, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being.'"

HIS SUFFERING:

As He hung upon the cross, having taken upon Himself the sin of those who would trust Him as Savior, God the Father turned from Him. His physical sufferings were great, but were not the greatest part of His suffering.

THE SOVEREIGN ALONE:

"...a person is not worshiping the Christian God as he should unless he recognizes that God is sovereign. When we speak of God's sovereignty, two thoughts are in mind--His work of creation and His work of providence. When we speak of providence, we mean His dealings in the world now."

FACING THE FACT THAT WE'VE BLOWN IT!:

"[We must now be] really facing the fact that we've blown it. If the Christians in this country had accepted the responsibility of the Lordship of Christ in the totality of life, even forty years ago, up to the level they have today [1983]. I do not believe for a moment we would be in the mess we are. We have denied our Lord! That's exactly where we are. False pietism is wrong, this is real spirituality at this point. Jesus is the Lord of ALL! He is Lord of ALL!"

~ Francis Schaeffer, Segment from Video Q&A of "Names & Issues" Lecture, 1983
