More quotes by Dallas Willard
Bodily pleasure is not in itself a bad thing. But when it is exalted to a necessity and we become dependent upon it, then we are slaves of our body and its feelings. Only misery lies ahead.
Dallas Willard
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.
Dallas Willard
The sinner is not the one who uses a lot of grace... The saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on take off.
Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
Dallas Willard

The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become.
Dallas Willard
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action.
Dallas Willard
The key, then, to loving God is to see Jesus, to hold him before the mind with as much fullness and clarity as possible. It is to adore him.
Dallas Willard
I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
Dallas Willard
Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.
Dallas Willard
A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.
Dallas Willard
Why doesn't God just force us to do the things he knows to be right? It is because that would lose precisely that which he has intended in our creation: freely chosen character.
Dallas Willard
We need to understand that Jesus is a thinker, that this is not a dirty word but an essential work, and that his other attributes do not preclude thought, but only ensure that he is certainly the greatest thinker of the human race: the most intelligent person who ever lived on earth
Dallas Willard
Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
