More quotes by Dallas Willard
The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard
The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.
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
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
Spiritual formation cannot, in the nature of the case, be a 'private' thing, because it is a matter of whole-life transformation. You need to seek out others in your community who are pursuing the renovation of the heart.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
He [Peter after the resurrection] now understood that he and the church were to exercise a transcendent power that did not depend upon having a kingdom or government in any human sense, for it was literally a God government in which they were participants (Acts 1:6-8).
Dallas Willard
Relations between parents and children and siblings and mates. This is not external. We can't separate them.
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
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
Spiritual formation for the Christian basically refers to the Spirit-driven process of forming the inner world of the human self in such a way that it becomes like the inner being of Christ himself.
Dallas Willard
I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
Dallas Willard
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
Dallas Willard
When the will is enslaved to a desire, it will in turn enslave the mind.
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
Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.
Dallas Willard
What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish
Dallas Willard
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.
