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
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 had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
William P. Young

And then one day you will pray for his wholeness and give him over to me so that my love will burn from his life every vestige of corruption.
William P. Young
The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.
