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.

Image
When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, Now what are we going to do about the darkness? It's gone!

Image
Kingdom obedience is kingdom abundance
Dallas Willard
Image
It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
Dallas Willard
Image
In the area of social righteousness we cannot be right on the inside and not do it. We cannot! Of course we have people who pretend that they can, but it simply isn't true.
Dallas Willard
Image
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.
