More quotes by Dallas Willard
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard
Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.
Dallas Willard
Jesus is actually looking for people he can trust with his power.
Dallas Willard
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort.
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
The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard
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
The transformation of the social world is at its heart the transformation of personal relations. That's the key to transforming society in the larger arena.
Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
Dallas Willard
The organized churches must become schools of spiritual discipline where Christians are taught how to own without treasuring (Matt. 6:21) how to possess without, like the rich young ruler, being possessed (Mark 10:22) how to live simply, even frugally, though controlling great wealth and power.
Dallas Willard
As we mature in Christ, it is actually possible to outgrow fear.
Dallas Willard
We need to understand that Jesus is a thinker, that this is not a dirty word but an essential work, and that his other attributes do not preclude thought, but only ensure that he is certainly the greatest thinker of the human race: the most intelligent person who ever lived on earth
Dallas Willard
Feelings too must be renovated: old ones removed in many cases, or at least thoroughly modified, and new ones installed or at least heightened into a new prominence.
Dallas Willard
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.
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
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).
