True love never forces.
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
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
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
Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.
William P. Young
It is impossible for you to take power over the future because it isn't even real...
William P. Young
The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.
William P. Young
Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.
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
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
William P. Young
You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.
William P. Young
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
William P. Young
I don't see the Father pouring out his wrath on the Son. I see the human race pouring out their wrath on the Son. So I see the only hope for the entire cosmos is what the Son chooses to accept, crawling upon the instrument of our greatest wrath. He met us at the deepest, darkest place.
William P. Young
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
William P. Young
Did I hear God call me an idiot?
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly... And if left unresolved you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.
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
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
