Francis A. Schaeffer quotes:
-
Lex Rex has become Rex Lex. Arbitrary judgment concerning current sociological good is king
-
Each generation of the church in each setting has the responsibility of communicating the gospel in understandable terms, considering the language and thought-forms of that setting.
-
We may not play with the new theology even if we may think we can turn it to our advantage.
-
To make no decision in regard to the growth of authoritarian government is already a decision for it.
-
Countries which have a different base, for example, a Christian one (or at least one with the memory of a Christian foundation) may indeed act most inconsistently and horribly. But when a state with a materialistic base acts arbitrarily and gives no dignity to man, internally or externally, it is being consistent to its basic presuppositions and principles.

Without the infinite personal God, all a person can do, as Nietzsche points out, is to make systems. In today's speech we would call them gameplans. A person can erect some sort of structure, some type of limited frame in which he lives, shutting himself up in that frame and not looking beyond it.
