More quotes by Dallas Willard
Spiritual transformation into Christ-likeness in not going to happen unless we act... What transforms us is the will to obey Jesus Christ.
Dallas Willard
The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.
Dallas Willard
A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.
Dallas Willard
It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.
Dallas Willard
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
As Augustine say clearly, God being God offends human pride. If God is running the universe and has first claim on our lives, guess who isn't running the universe and does not get to have things as they please.
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
Now, of course, you have guidance devices and all sorts of things. The soul would be more like the way this is all hooked together, a system of coordination.
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
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
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).
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
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 needed transformation is very largely a matter of replacing in ourselves those idea systems of evil (and their corresponding cultures) with the idea system that Jesus Christ embodied and taught and with a culture of the kingdom of God.
Dallas Willard
I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.
Dallas Willard
The greatest challenge the church faces today is to be authentic disciples of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.
Dallas Willard
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
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 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
