I was raised in a tribal situation, among cannibal people.
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
Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.
William P. Young
Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.
William P. Young
Women, in general, will find it difficult to turn from a man and stop demanding that he meets their needs, provides security, and protects their identity, and return to me. Men, in general, find it very hard to turn from the works of their hands, their own quests for power and security and significance, and turn to me.
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.
William P. Young
those who are afraid of freedom are those who cannot trust us to live in them. Trying to keep the law is actually a declaration of independence, a way of keeping control
William P. Young
Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience it is all about relationships of love and respect.
William P. Young
Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.
William P. Young
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.
William P. Young
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
William P. Young
Today's minor irritations may become tomorrow's treasured memories. We often don't know what we are missing, until it's missing.
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 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
...if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.
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
I think good creative writing opens up space for people to come into. Let God reach out and touch the human soul. That's not my job. I get to be present and create as much space as I can ... That frees me up just to be creative in the way I want to be.
William P. Young
If you and I are friends, there is an expectancy that exists within our relationship. When we see each other or are apart, there is an expectancy of being together, of laughing and talking. The expectancy has no concrete definition it is alive and dynamic and everything that emerges from our being together is a unique gift shared by no one else.
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
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
