Image
In thus sending out his trainees, [Jesus] set afoot a perpetual world revolution: one that is still in process and will continue until God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven.... He has chosen to accomplish this with and, in part, through his students.

The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Suppose our failures occur, not in spite of what we are doing, but precisely because of it.
Dallas Willard
Image
The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command.

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.

Image
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).

Blessing is the projection of good into the life of another.

Paul followed Jesus by living as He lived. And how did he do that? Through activities and ways of living that would train his whole personality to depend upon the risen Christ as Christ trained Himself to depend upon the Father.

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.
Dallas Willard
Image
When we think of taking Christ into the workplace or keeping Christ in the home, we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The specialness of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.

The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard
Image
No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness

We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, Now what are we going to do about the darkness? It's gone!
