More quotes by William P. Young
I often find that getting head issues out of the way first makes the heart stuff easier to work on later.
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
Disconnect your identity from what you produce, and that’s a hard thing for us because we think of our significance, worth and value based on what we do instead of who we are.
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
William P. Young
Did I hear God call me an idiot?
William P. Young
Through . . . lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. . . . Lies become an inhibitor in your relationship . . . .
William P. Young
I'm not an actual author but an accidental one.
William P. Young
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
City and country -- each has its own beauty and its own pain. Some of the smallness of small towns -- cattiness, everybody knowing everybody's business -- that can be challenging. And cities can be challenging, because no one can connect except electronically.
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
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
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
Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.
William P. Young
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
