Why Not Women Quotes

“A man’s pride destroys his intimacy with God and effectively stunts the growth of his ministry.”
― Loren Cunningham, Why Not Women?

“When Christian leaders act unjustly, it reflects on the character of God. Unbelievers watch and decide that if Christians are like that, their God must also be unjust.”
― Loren Cunningham, Why Not Women?

“There is only one Body of Christ, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. How can we read Ephesians 4, then separate the gifts listed there into male and female categories? Wouldn't that make us two bodies? Does God gift a women just to teach other women in a female Body of Christ? Or is she part of the one Body? Paul said that in Christ there is neither male nor female, Jew nor Greek, slave nor free. We are all one in Christ Jesus-- one body, not two or three or more.”

“Periodic revivals of Plato's and Aristotle's ideas made a great impact on the church and pagan societies in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and on much of today's culture. These ideas have been mass marketed. Many have eaten of these men's fruit, not realizing the roots of what they were taught. The ideas of these men have insidiously clouded the clear understanding of the Bible for many, setting us up to view women as an inferior, subordinate "other".”

“Some worry that women can't be truly feminine if they use the ministry gifts. But God is the giver of their femininity as well as whatever gifts He places within them. He wouldn't contradict one of His gifts with another. Neither will a woman obeying God threaten the masculinity of men who are also surrendered to Christ. A real man is able to release women into public ministry. A man of God doesn't fear man; he fears the Lord. Submission to God is the ultimate strength. I have found that the more people I release into ministry, including women, God releases me.”
