“When we sit as judges over God's rules, we make ourselves God. We say, 'I will be the one to determine if this is right. I am smart enough, trustworthy enough, to do so. I have what it takes to determine if this is a good rule or not.' ...we make it only about the law itself because we have no relationship with whoever installed it. But God's laws...are like the words of a good parent. To go against a good parent when you're a child in their house is not just about an action, but about breaking trust between people.” TrustGod S LawsMan S Rebellion Book:Born Again This Way Source: Born Again This Way

“The designed purpose of marriage is to illustrate metaphorically God's relationship to his people... A marriage is complex, and fails if it lacks a crucial part. A marriage cannot rightly depict God's relationship with his people if it lacks faithfulness, or pleasure, or fruitfulness - or sex difference. The metaphor demands it.” GodMarriageSex Difference Book:Born Again This Way Source: Born Again This Way
