More quotes by William P. Young
Don't forget that in the midst of all your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty, the wonder of creation, art, your music and culture, the sounds of laughter and love, of whispered hopes and celebrations, of new life and transformation, of reconciliation and forgiveness.
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
Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
William P. Young

William P. Young
You are the root, and only God knows that the flower will be.

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
It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.
William P. Young
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.
William P. Young
I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
William P. Young
The God of Evangelical Christianity is a Monster.
William P. Young
Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.
William P. Young
And the Law that once contained impossible demands -- Thou Shalt Not... -- actually becomes a promise we fulfill in you.
William P. Young
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
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.
William P. Young
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
William P. Young
This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.
William P. Young
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.
William P. Young
Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.
William P. Young
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
