Generally speaking we don't want to hear from the soul. We want it to just do its job. Unfortunately, in a broken world, it also is broken, and we're going to hear from it because many of the ordinary miseries and extraordinary glories of human life are expressions of the state of the soul.

Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
Dallas Willard
Image
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.

Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness
Dallas Willard

We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.

Image
It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.
Dallas Willard

Suppose our failures occur, not in spite of what we are doing, but precisely because of it.
Dallas Willard
Image
If you have a group of people come together around a vision for real discipleship, people who are committed to grow, committed to change, committed to learn, then a spiritual assessment tool can work.

No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.

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.
