The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
Theology is just what you really think about God, and if you're going to do that, you'd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle - a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by.
Dallas Willard
Image
There is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.
Dallas Willard
Image
Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.
