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.

The more we pray, the more we think to pray, and as we see the results of prayer-the responses of our Father to our requests-our confidence in God's power spills over into other areas of our life.
Dallas Willard
Image
What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.
Dallas Willard
Image
Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.
Dallas Willard
Image
The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
Dallas Willard
Image
Feelings too must be renovated: old ones removed in many cases, or at least thoroughly modified, and new ones installed or at least heightened into a new prominence.
Dallas Willard
Image
It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.
Dallas Willard
Image
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
Dallas Willard
Image
In the area of social righteousness we cannot be right on the inside and not do it. We cannot! Of course we have people who pretend that they can, but it simply isn't true.
