More quotes by Dallas Willard
Jesus is actually looking for people he can trust with his power.
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
I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.
Dallas Willard
Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness
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
Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand' (Matt 3:2, 4:17, 10:7). This is a call for us to reconsider how we have been approaching our life, in light of the fact that we now, in the presence of Jesus, have the option of living within the surrounding movements of God's eternal purposes, of taking our life into his life.
Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.
Dallas Willard
The relation of redemption and sanctification would be the ongoing relationship between the driver and God who is directing her. Now, if God isn't directing him, he may go wild and do all sorts of things criminal and crazy.
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
One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it.
Dallas Willard
If we are right on the inside, we will address these issues straight-forwardly and take a stand on them, and, if necessary, die for them. We will be that committed.
Dallas Willard
God inducts us into the eternal kind of life that flows through himself. He does this first by bringing that life to bear upon our needs, and then by diffusing it throughout our deeds - deeds done with expectation that he and his Father will act with and in our actions.
Dallas Willard
Today we are apt to downplay or disregard the importance of good thinking to strong faith and some, disastrously, even regard thinking as opposed to faith.
Dallas Willard
What is thinking? It is the activity of searching out what must be true, or cannot be true, in the light of the given facts or assumptions.
Dallas Willard
The organized churches must become schools of spiritual discipline where Christians are taught how to own without treasuring (Matt. 6:21) how to possess without, like the rich young ruler, being possessed (Mark 10:22) how to live simply, even frugally, though controlling great wealth and power.
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
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
If we do not make formation in Christ the priority, then we're just going to keep on producing Christians that are indistinguishable in their character from many non-Christians.
Dallas Willard
Today it is the skeptics who are the social conformists, though because of powerful intellectual propaganda they continue to enjoy thinking of themselves as wildly individualistic and unbearably bright.
