More quotes by William P. Young
Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.
William P. Young
I'm trying to get far away from [picturing God as] Gandalf or Santa Claus.
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
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
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
I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
William P. Young
If a rainbow makes a sound, or a flower as it grows, that was the sound of her laughter.
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
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
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
God's voice had been reduced to paper, and even that paper had to be moderated and deciphered by the proper authorities and intellect.
William P. Young
Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
William P. Young
Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.
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
Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience it is all about relationships of love and respect.
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
The soul is healed by being with children. --Fyodor Dostoyevsky
William P. Young
Did I hear God call me an idiot?
William P. Young
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
Nothing in life is ritual.
