Today we find ourselves, and other quotes

The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)

“Today we find ourselves with many males but too few men.” -- Tony Evans

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” -- Frank Herbert, Dune

“Solomon got more hurt by his wealth, than he got good by his wisdom.” -- Thomas Brooks

“Some people spend more time training their dogs than training their children.” -- Unknown

“Generally speaking, a man should control his emotions and keep many of his fears and anxieties to himself in order to be a source of consistency and stability for his family.” -- Matt Walsh

“If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.” -- Augustine of Hippo

“When the Bible says that God’s word is inspired, preserved, pure, trustworthy, etc. … the Bible in your hand is saying those things about the Bible in your hand.” -- Peter Van Kleeck, Jr.

“Theology should leave you with a thirst for worship, rather than an appetite for controversy.” -- Ryan McGraw

“I saw that I needed a perfect righteousness to present me without fault before God, and this righteousness was nowhere to be found but in the person of Jesus Christ.” -- John Bunyan, Grace Abounding
