More quotes by Dallas Willard
Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.
Dallas Willard
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
Play is the creation of value that is not necessary.
Dallas Willard
It's very difficult to be right about something without hurting someone with it.
Dallas Willard
Find a person who has embraced anger, and you will find a person with a wounded ego.
Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
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
Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
Dallas Willard
What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.
Dallas Willard
The greatest challenge the church faces today is to be authentic disciples of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
The most important thing in your life is not what you do it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
Dallas Willard
Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings. Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we do not.
Dallas Willard
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
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
