“A Christian woman's true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate...humble obedience...but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.” WorldTwoChristianLyingGivenSexSidesHalfEssentialsFemaleMalesHumbleInequalityObedienceGatesIdenticalGod ImageTrue FreedomDifferentiationLiberatorsChristian Women Author:Elisabeth Elliot
“If same-sex relationships are really sinful, then why do they so often produce good fruit-loving families, open homes, self-sacrifice, commitment, faithfulness, joy?

“I don't know what falling in love for me is. The concept of romantic love arose in the Middle Ages. Now remember, the Arabs don't even have a word for love-that is, a word for love apart from physical attraction or sex. And this separation of love and sex is a western concept, a Christian concept. As to what falling in love means, I'm uncertain. Love, well, it means simply physical attraction and liking a person at the same time.” KnowsWellsMeanPersonsAgeChristianRememberFallSexMiddleConceptsFalling In LoveWesternAttractionSeparationRomantic LoveUncertainMiddle AgesLove MeansPhysical Attraction Author:William S.

“All we are asking for is balance. I would like to think that I could walk into a public library and find not only works by Gloria Steinem but also those of Phyllis Schlafly.

I am not trying, as the ad says, to shove religion down anyone's throat.

“It has been left to the last Christians, or rather to the first Christians fully committed to blaspheming and denying Christianity, to invent a new kind of worship of Sex, which is not even a worship of Life. It has been left to the very latest Modernists to proclaim an erotic religion which at once exalts lust and forbids fertility . . .
