The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.
William P. Young
Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.
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.

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?
William P. Young
Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.

William P. Young
Love is not the limitation love is the flying.

Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
William P. Young
I believe that, that Christ became sin for us.
William P. Young
I wrote a story for my kids. It's fiction. It's not systematic theology. It's not a new book of the Bible. It's flawed, I wrote it. All of that goes into the mix, but I love the controversy. It elevates the conversation.
William P. Young
You are the root, and only God knows that the flower will be.
William P. Young
Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck.
William P. Young
Mack was getting frustrated. He spoke louder, 'But, don't I have a right to...' To complete a sentence without being interrupted? Not in reality. But as long as you think you do, you will surely get ticked off when someone cuts you off, even if it is God.
William P. Young
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
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
You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.
William P. Young
If anything matters, then everything matters.
