More quotes by William P. Young
The soul is healed by being with children. --Fyodor Dostoyevsky
William P. Young
Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of 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
...humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image.
William P. Young
I am especially fond of you.
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
The intricacy and the inherent beautiful fragility of the human soul is such that it is uniquely damaged and only God knows how to heal it, and it's going to take time.
William P. Young
I wrote a story for my kids. It's fiction. It's not systematic theology. It's not a new book of the Bible. It's flawed, I wrote it. All of that goes into the mix, but I love the controversy. It elevates the conversation.
William P. Young
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
Thank goodness there are women in our lives -- that's all I can say. We get saved by the women in our lives.
William P. Young
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
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
In some sense every parent does love their children. But some parents are too broken to love them well& others are barely able to love them at all.
William P. Young
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
William P. Young
I don't want my kids growing up with the image of God that I had -- Plato's white grandfatherly god -- because that god is not a very good father. When it comes down to it, you can't trust him with your kids.
William P. Young
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
William P. Young
Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.
William P. Young
Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.
William P. Young
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
William P. Young
