When we think of taking Christ into the workplace or keeping Christ in the home, we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The specialness of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.

Image
If we reject the Christian answer, we still have the problem. We're going to adopt some alternative, because the questions will not go away, the questions of, What kind of person am I becoming? and What is my role in that? and so on.

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
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

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
When we pass through what we call death, we do not loose the world. Indeed, we see it for the first time as it really is.
Dallas Willard
Image
The sinner is not the one who uses a lot of grace... The saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on take off.
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
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.

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.

Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.

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).
