PAPER SWORDS:

"It is possible to be faithful to God, and yet to be overwhelmed with discouragement as we face the world. In fact, if we are never overwhelmed, I wonder if we are fighting the battle with compassion and reality, or whether we are jousting with paper swords against paper windmills."

~ Dr. Francis Schaeffer, "Death In The City"

I DO NOT PRAY FOR JUSTICE:

"I must say, when I pray for my country and our culture, I do not pray for God's justice. I can only plead for His mercy. If we had justice of God, we would not have peace. We would have a situation like Jeremiah's. How dare we pray for justice upon our culture when we have so deliberately turned away from God and His revelation?"

LEARNING TO WEEP:

"Let us continue to look at Jeremiah and what he said to an age so much like our own. Jeremiah, you know, is called the 'weeping prophet,' for we find him crying over his people. And his attitude must be ours: we must weep over the church as it has turned away and weep over the culture that has followed it."

~ Schaeffer, A. Francis, The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer: Volume Four, A Christian View of the Church, Westchester, IL, Crossway Books. 255. (Book: Death in the City)

DETERMINED TO CRUELTY:

"Nobody who holds any concept of determinism, either chemical or psychological, can explain why the Marquis de Sade is wrong. Determinism leads in the direction of cruelty and inhumanity, whether it takes the specific form of de Sade's sadism or not."

OUR UNIQUENESS TELLS US THE TRUTH :

"The list is rather long, for man is distinguished from both animals and machines on the basis of his creativity, his moral motions, his need for love, his fear of nonbeing, and his longings for beauty and for meaning. Only the biblical system has a way of explaining these factors which make man unique."
