An ATI Education, Chapter 3: Thou Shalt Not Trap the Eye

“Ye are the light of the world; a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” According to Bill Gothard, this verse clearly directs women to avoid clothing with “eye traps” that might attract a man’s lustful attention.

Though I learned much from these experiences and am grateful […]
