The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.
Dallas Willard

God inducts us into the eternal kind of life that flows through himself. He does this first by bringing that life to bear upon our needs, and then by diffusing it throughout our deeds - deeds done with expectation that he and his Father will act with and in our actions.

Dallas Willard
Image

Dallas Willard
Image
No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
Dallas Willard
Image
Theology is just what you really think about God, and if you're going to do that, you'd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle - a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by.
Dallas Willard
Image
We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
Dallas Willard
Image
When [Satan] undertook to draw Eve away from God, he did not hit her with a stick, but with an idea. It was with an idea that God could not be trusted and that she must act on her own to secure her own well-being.

Kingdom obedience is kingdom abundance
Dallas Willard
Image
When we think of taking Christ into the workplace or keeping Christ in the home, we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The specialness of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.

Image
When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, Now what are we going to do about the darkness? It's gone!
Dallas Willard

Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
Dallas Willard
Image
If we allow everything access to our mind, we are simply asking to be kept in a state of mental turmoil or bondage. For nothing enters the mind without having an effect for good or evil.
