“When God’s work seems to call us to neglect marriage and home, solitude and study, we have traded masters.”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“When I held my newborn children and grandchildren, I felt as though I was looking at a treasure box packed intentionally by God with gifts to bless his world. Opening those gifts has been one of the great joys of my life. Ignoring the gifts of God in any child, female or male, does great damage to the child. It also greatly impairs the function of the church, because those gifts are given by God for the good of the body of Christ and for the glory of God.”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“Our systems, our countries, our faith groups, our tribes, and our organizations are not the kingdom of God. He resides in the hearts of his people, who are called to love and obey him even when our structures, institutions, and systems fall down around us.”
― Diane Langberg, Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

“We forget that anything done in the name of God that does not bear his character through and through is not of him at all. In our forgetting, we are more loyal to the words of humans than to the commandments of God.”
