More quotes by William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
If anything matters, then everything matters.
William P. Young
I don't need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it it's my joy to cure it.
William P. Young
God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellect.

You have to take the time to prepare the soil if you want to embrace the seed.
William P. Young
The Gospel is a declaration of something totally finished apart from our agreement or vote.

We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.
William P. Young
I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
William P. Young
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
William P. Young
Authority, as you usually think of it, is merely the excuse the strong use to make others conform to what they want.
William P. Young
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
William P. Young
You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.
William P. Young
Much as I venerate the name of Newton, I am not obliged to believe that he was infallible. I see ... with regret that he was liable to err, and that his authority has, perhaps, sometimes even retarded the progress of science.
William P. Young
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.
William P. Young
The God of Evangelical Christianity is a Monster.
William P. Young
Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.
