“There is only one way of victory over the bitterness and rage that comes naturally to us--To will what God wills brings peace.”
Amy Carmichael

“The institutional church must decide what their mandate is. If it is simply to make converts or fix those they believe to be broken, then perhaps they'll continue on with it brutally, as they have many times throughout history. But if the mandate is to love? Then they must first deal with their fear.”
Shannon Harris, The Woman They Wanted: Shattering the Illusion of the Good Christian Wife

Suzanne Collins
“I think there’s a natural goodness built into human beings. You know when you’ve stepped across the line into evil, and it’s your life’s challenge to try and stay on the right side of that line.”
Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Tim Challies
“By giving us control, our new technologies tend to enhance existing idols in our lives. Instead of becoming more like Christ through the forming and shaping influence of the church community, we form, and shape, and personalize our community to make it more like us. We take control of things that are not ours to control. Could it be that our desire for control is short-circuiting the process of change and transformation God wants us to experience through the mess of real world, flesh and blood, face-to-face relationships?”
Tim Challies, The Next Story: Life and Faith after the Digital Explosion

Emily Nagoski
“when sex is conceptualized as a need, it creates an environment that fosters men’s sense of sexual entitlement. Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s book Half the Sky illustrates how the assumption that boys require outlets to “relieve their sexual frustrations” facilitates the sexual enslavement of impoverished girls. If you think of sex as a drive, like hunger or thirst, that has to be fed for survival, if you think that men in particular—with their 75 percent spontaneous desire—need to relieve their pent-up sexual energy, then you can invent justifications for any strategy a man might use to relieve himself. Because if sex is a drive, like hunger, then potential partners are like food. Or like animals to be hunted for food.”
Emily Nagoski, Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life
