More quotes by Dallas Willard
Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.
Dallas Willard
Bodily pleasure is not in itself a bad thing. But when it is exalted to a necessity and we become dependent upon it, then we are slaves of our body and its feelings. Only misery lies ahead.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
Dallas Willard
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.
Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.
Dallas Willard
The most important thing in your life is not what you do it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
Dallas Willard
The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
Dallas Willard
I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
God inducts us into the eternal kind of life that flows through himself. He does this first by bringing that life to bear upon our needs, and then by diffusing it throughout our deeds - deeds done with expectation that he and his Father will act with and in our actions.
