Francis Schaeffer - Logical Conclusions

"Every man, therefore, irrespective of his system, is caught.  As he tries intellectually to extend his position in a logical way and then live within it, he is caught by the two things which, as it were, slap him across the face.  Without indicating that his psychology or philosophy is correct, Carl Gustav Jung has correctly observed that two things cut across every man's will - the external world with it's structure, and those things which well up from inside himself.  Non-Christian presuppositions simply do not fit into what God has made, including what man is.  This being so, every man is in a place of tension.  Man cannot make his own universe and then live in it."

Francis Schaeffer - The God Who Is There

Read this last night in Book 4, Chapter 1, and was very impressed.  Schaeffer articulates in a few words what I have always known in my head: non-Christian presuppositions simply do not fit into what God has made.  I doubt anyone has ever expressed that idea better.

God's Answer To Man's Dilemma

"The Christian is the real radical of our generation, for he stands against the monolithic, modern concept of truth as relative.  But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaining the status quo.  If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong - including man's inhumanity to man."
