Generally speaking we don't want to hear from the soul. We want it to just do its job. Unfortunately, in a broken world, it also is broken, and we're going to hear from it because many of the ordinary miseries and extraordinary glories of human life are expressions of the state of the soul.

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.
Dallas Willard
Image
When [Satan] undertook to draw Eve away from God, he did not hit her with a stick, but with an idea. It was with an idea that God could not be trusted and that she must act on her own to secure her own well-being.

Image
Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.

Image
When the will is enslaved to a desire, it will in turn enslave the mind.
Dallas Willard
Image
I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
Dallas Willard
Image
Of course, we do the righteous deed because of our redemption, not for our redemption.
