More quotes by Dallas Willard
The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.
Dallas Willard
The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard
The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.
Dallas Willard
History has brought us to the point where the Christian message is thought to be essential concerned only with how to deal with sin: with wrongdoing or wrong-being and its effects. Life, our actual existence, is not included in what is now presented as the heart of the Christian message, or it is included only marginally.
Dallas Willard
No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
Dallas Willard
Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.
Dallas Willard
The most important thing in your life is not what you do it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
Dallas Willard
There is no avoiding the fact that we live at the mercy of our ideas This is never more true than with our ideas about God.
Dallas Willard
The truly powerful ideas are precisely the ones that never have to justify themselves.
Dallas Willard
The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual formation for the Christian basically refers to the Spirit-driven process of forming the inner world of the human self in such a way that it becomes like the inner being of Christ himself.
Dallas Willard
I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
Dallas Willard
The hardest thing about leadership is the intimacy it requires.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.
Dallas Willard
You can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you could trust your doctor and your auto mechanic and not intend to follow their advice. If you don't intend to follow their advice, you simply don't trust them. Period.
Dallas Willard
The more we pray, the more we think to pray, and as we see the results of prayer-the responses of our Father to our requests-our confidence in God's power spills over into other areas of our life.
Dallas Willard
As Augustine say clearly, God being God offends human pride. If God is running the universe and has first claim on our lives, guess who isn't running the universe and does not get to have things as they please.
Dallas Willard
We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.
Dallas Willard
Feelings too must be renovated: old ones removed in many cases, or at least thoroughly modified, and new ones installed or at least heightened into a new prominence.
Dallas Willard
It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.
Dallas Willard
