The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones. — Henry Ward Beecher
The most important Christian Education institution is not the pulpit or the school, important as those institutions are; but it is the Christian family. And that institution has to a very large extent ceased to do its work. — John Gresham Machen
To control the future requires the control of education and of the child.

Rushdoony
Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ. — James Madison

A missional theology...appl ies to the whole of life of every believer. Every disciple is to be an agent of the kingdom of God, and every disciple is to carry the mission of God into every sphere of life. We are all missionaries sent into a non-Christian culture. — Alan Hirsch

Ehrman
Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism. — Oswald Spengler

If you expound the teaching of the Logos from the standpoint of the moral life, using materialistic words and examples which correspond to the capacity of your hearers, you make the Logos flesh.

To teach your child to only be a Muslim in Muslim spaces or only a Christian in Christian spaces means in a way that you're teaching them a religious identity that is relevant to only a very small part of their lives, because the vast majority of their lives in the 21st century are going to be lived in interaction with others. — Eboo Patel

The Christian religion teaches us to imitate a God that is cruel, insidious, jealous, and implacable in his wrath. — Denis Diderot
