Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.

Image
As we mature in Christ, it is actually possible to outgrow fear.
Dallas Willard
Image
I believe that every human being is sufficiently depraved that when we get to heaven, no one will be able to say, I merited this.

Theology is just what you really think about God, and if you're going to do that, you'd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle - a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by.
Dallas Willard
Image
Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.
Dallas Willard
Image
We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.
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 idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.

Image
It would be of course a low voltage spiritual life in which prayer was chiefly undertaken as a discipline, rather than as a way of co-labouring with God to accomplish good things and advancing his Kingdom purposes.

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
Image
We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.
Dallas Willard
Image
We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.
Dallas Willard
Image
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God set it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want.

Image
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
Image
My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.

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.

Image
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.

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.

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.
