I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
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.

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
Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.
Dallas Willard
Image
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.

Image
The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.

Image
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
Dallas Willard
Image
In the area of social righteousness we cannot be right on the inside and not do it. We cannot! Of course we have people who pretend that they can, but it simply isn't true.
Dallas Willard
Image
The core of the person is what he or she loves, and that is bound up with what they worship - that insight recalibrates the radar for cultural analysis. The rituals and practices that form our loves spill out well beyond the sanctuary. Many secular liturgies are trying to get us to love some other kingdom and some other gods.
Dallas Willard
Image
What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.
Dallas Willard
Image
There is absolutely nothing in what Jesus himself or his early followers taught that suggests you can decide just to enjoy forgiveness at Jesus' expense and have nothing more to do with him.
Dallas Willard
Image
Understanding is the basis of care. What you would take care of you must first understand, whether it be a petunia or a nation.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.
Dallas Willard
Image
You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.
Dallas Willard
Image
Play is the creation of value that is not necessary.
Dallas Willard
Image
The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard
Image
The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.
