Dallas Willard
The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
Dallas Willard
Discipleship' as a term has lost its content, and this is one reason why it has been moved aside. I've tried to redeem the idea of discipleship, and I think it can be done you have to get it out of the contemporary mode.
Dallas Willard
There is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.
Dallas Willard
Bodily pleasure is not in itself a bad thing. But when it is exalted to a necessity and we become dependent upon it, then we are slaves of our body and its feelings. Only misery lies ahead.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
