When General Sir Douglas Haig was told over 40,000 casualties on the first day of the battle of the Somme in 1916 (the true figure was 57,470), he observed that this cannot be  considered severe in view of the numbers engaged and the length of the front attacked - War and the death of news, Martin Bell, Page 157

In many churches Christianity has been watered down
until the solution is so weak that if it were poison
it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it
would not cure anyone!

“Repentance is like an antibiotic. You have to take it every day until you finish the course.”- Milton Jones

God has revealed himself to us in the Bible pervasively as King, not Queen, and as Father, not Mother. The second person of the Trinity is revealed as the eternal Son. The Father and the Son created man and woman in his image, and gave them together the name of the man, Adam (Genesis 5:2). God appoints all the priests in Israel to be men. The Son of God comes into the world as a man, not a woman. He chooses twelve men to be his apostles. The apostles tell the churches that all the overseers—the pastor/elders who teach and have authority (1 Timothy 2:12)—should be men; and that in the home, the head who bears special responsibility to lead, protect, and provide should be the husband (Ephesians 5:22–33). - John Piper, https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/the-frank-and-manly-mr-ryle-the-value-of-a-masculine-ministry
