Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.

Image
I believe that, that Christ became sin for us.
William P. Young
Image
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
William P. Young
Image
Responsibilites and expectations are the basis of guilt and shame and judgement, and they provide the essential framework that promotes performance as the basis for identity and value.
William P. Young
Image
You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.
William P. Young
Image
Thank goodness there are women in our lives -- that's all I can say. We get saved by the women in our lives.

Emotions are the colors of the soul.
William P. Young
Image
Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.

Image
So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?

Image
Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.

Image
I grew up fundamentalist, evangelical, Protestant. Those are my roots, and they are good roots. But it means the Pharisees are my people. I grew up with an image of God that was not helpful -- largely the face of my father expanded.

Image
Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.
William P. Young
Image
It is remarkable how a seemingly insignificant action or event can change entire lives.
William P. Young
Image
I make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.

When you chose independence over relationship, you became a danger to one another. Others became objects to be manipulated or managed for your own happiness. Authority as you usually think of it, is merely the excues the strone ones use to make others conform to what they want.
William P. Young
Image
And when you learn, over the course of your life, that it's not about pleasing God, it's about learning how to trust God. That's a huge watershed, because trust is a whole different ballgame than appeasement or pleasing.

Image
I'm an accidental writer.

I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
William P. Young
Image
Why would the God of the universe want to be submitted to me?' Because we want you to join us in our circle of relationship. I don't want slaves to my will I want brothers and sisters who will share life with me.

He was sick of God and God's religion, sick of all the little religious social clubs that didn't seem to make any real difference or affect any real changes.
