Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
Dallas Willard
Image
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
Dallas Willard
Image
What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.
Dallas Willard
Image
The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow or require our minds to dwell upon.
Dallas Willard
Image
You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.
Dallas Willard
Image
If you have a group of people come together around a vision for real discipleship, people who are committed to grow, committed to change, committed to learn, then a spiritual assessment tool can work.
Dallas Willard
Image
Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.

Image
History has brought us to the point where the Christian message is thought to be essential concerned only with how to deal with sin: with wrongdoing or wrong-being and its effects. Life, our actual existence, is not included in what is now presented as the heart of the Christian message, or it is included only marginally.

Image
Paul followed Jesus by living as He lived. And how did he do that? Through activities and ways of living that would train his whole personality to depend upon the risen Christ as Christ trained Himself to depend upon the Father.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
The truly powerful ideas are precisely the ones that never have to justify themselves.
Dallas Willard
Image
A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.
Dallas Willard
Image
The relation of redemption and sanctification would be the ongoing relationship between the driver and God who is directing her. Now, if God isn't directing him, he may go wild and do all sorts of things criminal and crazy.
Dallas Willard
Image
The idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.
Dallas Willard
Image
Make disciples. Surround them in the reality of the Trinity in a fellowship of disciples. Teach them to do everything Jesus says.
Dallas Willard
Image
If we do not make formation in Christ the priority, then we're just going to keep on producing Christians that are indistinguishable in their character from many non-Christians.
Dallas Willard
Image
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.
Dallas Willard
Image
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action.
Dallas Willard

The greatest danger to the Christian church today is that of pitching its message too low.
