More quotes by Dallas Willard
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.
Dallas Willard
The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
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
Of course, we do the righteous deed because of our redemption, not for our redemption.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual formation for the Christian basically refers to the Spirit-driven process of forming the inner world of the human self in such a way that it becomes like the inner being of Christ himself.
Dallas Willard
We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
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
If we allow everything access to our mind, we are simply asking to be kept in a state of mental turmoil or bondage. For nothing enters the mind without having an effect for good or evil.
Dallas Willard
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.
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
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
The different parts of the automobile like the ignition switch, the various buttons, the steering wheel - the interfaces between the driver and the machine - is our spirit or heart.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.
Dallas Willard
Does Christ commend the famous 'apathy' of the Stoic or the Buddhist elimination of desire? Far from it. The issue is not just feeling or desire, but right feeling or desire, or being controlled by feeling or desire.
Dallas Willard
You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.
Dallas Willard
Today it is the skeptics who are the social conformists, though because of powerful intellectual propaganda they continue to enjoy thinking of themselves as wildly individualistic and unbearably bright.
Dallas Willard
We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.
Dallas Willard
When we are formed inwardly, outer issues do become much more manageable.
Dallas Willard
The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.
Dallas Willard
The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.
Dallas Willard
