Today we are apt to downplay or disregard the importance of good thinking to strong faith and some, disastrously, even regard thinking as opposed to faith.

More quotes by Dallas Willard
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
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
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual transformation into Christ-likeness in not going to happen unless we act... What transforms us is the will to obey Jesus Christ.
Dallas Willard
God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being right, we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life.
Dallas Willard
Today it is the skeptics who are the social conformists, though because of powerful intellectual propaganda they continue to enjoy thinking of themselves as wildly individualistic and unbearably bright.
Dallas Willard
In thus sending out his trainees, [Jesus] set afoot a perpetual world revolution: one that is still in process and will continue until God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven.... He has chosen to accomplish this with and, in part, through his students.
Dallas Willard
Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.
Dallas Willard
Of course, we do the righteous deed because of our redemption, not for our redemption.
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 idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.
Dallas Willard
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. Those who come though me will be safe, he said. They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the fullest
Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
Jesus is actually looking for people he can trust with his power.
Dallas Willard
We see that the soul is the deepest and the most vital part of the person as a whole. It is often treated as the person, and we actually do this when we talk about saving our soul.
Dallas Willard
In a world apart from God, the power of denial is absolutely essential if life is to proceed. The will or spirit cannot-psychologically cannot-sustain itself for any length of time in the face of what it clearly acknowledges to be the case. Therefore it must deny and evade and delude itself.
Dallas Willard
Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.
Dallas Willard
In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.
Dallas Willard
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
