More quotes by Dallas Willard
The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become.
Dallas Willard
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
The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.
Dallas Willard
The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard
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
Keep eternity before the children.
Dallas Willard
When the will is enslaved to a desire, it will in turn enslave the mind.
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
Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness
Dallas Willard
The hardest thing about leadership is the intimacy it requires.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.
Dallas Willard
The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow or require our minds to dwell upon.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
A leader enables people to love and honor the role they play in the organization or group they are part of
Dallas Willard
The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.
Dallas Willard
Unless you have already put God first, for example, what you will have to do to be financially secure, impress other people, or fulfill your desires will invariably lead you against God's wishes. That is why the first of the Ten Commandments, “You shall have no gods who take priority over me,” is the first of the Ten Commandments.
Dallas Willard
As Augustine say clearly, God being God offends human pride. If God is running the universe and has first claim on our lives, guess who isn't running the universe and does not get to have things as they please.
Dallas Willard
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
Dallas Willard
Now, of course, you have guidance devices and all sorts of things. The soul would be more like the way this is all hooked together, a system of coordination.
Dallas Willard
