Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
Discipleship' as a term has lost its content, and this is one reason why it has been moved aside. I've tried to redeem the idea of discipleship, and I think it can be done you have to get it out of the contemporary mode.
Dallas Willard
Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.
Dallas Willard
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.
Dallas Willard
If our gospel does not free the individual up for a unique life of spiritual adventure in living with God daily, we simply have not entered fully into the good news that Jesus brought.
Dallas Willard
