More quotes by 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
If we reject the Christian answer, we still have the problem. We're going to adopt some alternative, because the questions will not go away, the questions of, What kind of person am I becoming? and What is my role in that? and so on.

Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand' (Matt 3:2, 4:17, 10:7). This is a call for us to reconsider how we have been approaching our life, in light of the fact that we now, in the presence of Jesus, have the option of living within the surrounding movements of God's eternal purposes, of taking our life into his life.
Dallas Willard
The hardest thing about leadership is the intimacy it requires.
Dallas Willard
You can live opposite of what you profess, but you cannot live opposite of what you believe.
Dallas Willard

Dallas Willard
A carefully cultivated heart will, assisted by the grace of God, foresee, forestall, or transform most of the painful situations before which others stand like helpless children saying “Why?
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
A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.
Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
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
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.
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
Play is the creation of value that is not necessary.
Dallas Willard
The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.
Dallas Willard
Understanding is the basis of care. What you would take care of you must first understand, whether it be a petunia or a nation.
Dallas Willard
The truly powerful ideas are precisely the ones that never have to justify themselves.
Dallas Willard
At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.
