Francis Schaeffer

If Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just 'dogmatically' true or 'doctrinally' true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life.

If I'm going to be in the right relationship with God, I should treat the things he has made in the same way he treats them.

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

Christianity is not just involved with "salvation", but with the total man in the total world. The Christian message begins with the existence of God forever, and then with creation. It does not begin with salvation. We must be thankful for salvation, but the Christian message is more than that. Man has a value because he is made in the image of God.

I am afraid that as evangelicals, we think that a work of art only has value if we reduce it to a tract.
