Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.

More quotes by 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
I believe that every human being is sufficiently depraved that when we get to heaven, no one will be able to say, I merited this.
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
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
The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard
The people to whom we minister and speak will not recall 99 percent of what we say to them, but they will never forget the kind of persons we are.
Dallas Willard
It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
Dallas Willard
Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.
Dallas Willard
Those who have been touched by forgiveness and new life and have thus entered into God's rule become, like Jesus, bearers of that rule.
Dallas Willard
One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it.
Dallas Willard
Projects of personal transformation rarely succeed by accident, drift, or imposition.
Dallas Willard
He [Peter after the resurrection] now understood that he and the church were to exercise a transcendent power that did not depend upon having a kingdom or government in any human sense, for it was literally a God government in which they were participants (Acts 1:6-8).
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
The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.
Dallas Willard
A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.
Dallas Willard
If we reject the Christian answer, we still have the problem. We're going to adopt some alternative, because the questions will not go away, the questions of, What kind of person am I becoming? and What is my role in that? and so on.
Dallas Willard
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
Dallas Willard
God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being right, we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life.
Dallas Willard
