Quotes 12 Jun

“Remember one is given the strength to bear what happens, not the 101 different things that might happen.”— C. S. Lewis

Issues of complementarianism will be a dividing line in our day between who will give priority to God’s Word over culture and who will give priority to culture over God’s Word-

All men are cremated equal - Spike Milligan

Neither work nor old age sound especially desirable.
But they’re both far preferable to their alternatives.

The reigning ideology, that prosperity and the accumulation of material riches are to be valued above all else, is leading to a weakening of character in the West, and also to a massive decline in courage and the will to defend itself, as was clearly seen in the Vietnam War, not to mention a perplexity in the face of terror. But the roots of this social condition spring from the Enlightenment, from rationalist humanism, from the notion that man is the center of all that exists, and that there is no Higher Power above him. And these roots of irreligious humanism are common to the current Western world and to Communism, and that is what has led the Western intelligentsia to such strong and dogged sympathy for Communism. -  Solzhenitsyn, Between Two Millstones: Sketches of Exile, University of Notre Dame Press,  2018
