Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.
Dallas Willard
Image
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.
Dallas Willard
Image
Suppose our failures occur, not in spite of what we are doing, but precisely because of it.
Dallas Willard
Image
What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish
Dallas Willard
Image
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. The rituals and practices that form our loves spill out well beyond the sanctuary. Many secular liturgies are trying to get us to love some other kingdom and some other gods.

Image
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.

Image
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).

Image
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
Dallas Willard
Image
The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.
Dallas Willard
Image
The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.
Dallas Willard
Image
Your mind will really talk to you when you begin to deny fulfillment to your desires, and you will find how subtle and shameless it is.
Dallas Willard
Image
The more we pray, the more we think to pray, and as we see the results of prayer-the responses of our Father to our requests-our confidence in God's power spills over into other areas of our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Why doesn't God just force us to do the things he knows to be right? It is because that would lose precisely that which he has intended in our creation: freely chosen character.
Dallas Willard
Image
At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Understanding is the basis of care. What you would take care of you must first understand, whether it be a petunia or a nation.

Image
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.
