More quotes by 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
Nothing in life is ritual.
William P. Young
Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.

William P. Young

Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.
William P. Young

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.
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 produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is or is not.
