The needed transformation is very largely a matter of replacing in ourselves those idea systems of evil (and their corresponding cultures) with the idea system that Jesus Christ embodied and taught and with a culture of the kingdom of God.

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.

The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.

The greatest challenge the church faces today is to be authentic disciples of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
Image
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God set it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want.

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.

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

History has brought us to the point where the Christian message is thought to be essential concerned only with how to deal with sin: with wrongdoing or wrong-being and its effects. Life, our actual existence, is not included in what is now presented as the heart of the Christian message, or it is included only marginally.

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.

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.

Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.

One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it.

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.

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.

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.

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.

There is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.

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.

Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.
