The people to whom we minister and speak will not recall 99 percent of what we say to them, but they will never forget the kind of persons we are.

More quotes by Dallas Willard
The hardest thing about leadership is the intimacy it requires.
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
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
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
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
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.
Dallas Willard
Of course, we do the righteous deed because of our redemption, not for our redemption.
Dallas Willard
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
Dallas Willard
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. Those who come though me will be safe, he said. They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the fullest
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
Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.
Dallas Willard
A leader enables people to love and honor the role they play in the organization or group they are part of
Dallas Willard
We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.
Dallas Willard
The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.
Dallas Willard
The Bible, of course, is not a theology book. It is certainly not a philosophy book. So we have to derive the meaning of terms from the context in use.
Dallas Willard
I would say the soul would be more than the engine. The soul would be like the computer system that coordinates everything, from the smog device to the fuel injection system to the brakes.
Dallas Willard
Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.
Dallas Willard
As we mature in Christ, it is actually possible to outgrow fear.
Dallas Willard
We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
Dallas Willard
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.
