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.

More quotes by Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
Clinical depression is an extreme form of a 'bad mood.'
Dallas Willard
Business is a primary arrangement on God's part for people to love one another and serve one another.
Dallas Willard
When we pass through what we call death, we do not loose the world. Indeed, we see it for the first time as it really is.
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
The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.
Dallas Willard
There is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.
Dallas Willard
You can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you could trust your doctor and your auto mechanic and not intend to follow their advice. If you don't intend to follow their advice, you simply don't trust them. Period.
Dallas Willard
Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.
Dallas Willard
The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command.
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
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.
Dallas Willard
Suppose our failures occur, not in spite of what we are doing, but precisely because of it.
Dallas Willard
Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings. Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we do not.
Dallas Willard
The greatest challenge the church faces today is to be authentic disciples of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual formation for the Christian basically refers to the Spirit-driven process of forming the inner world of the human self in such a way that it becomes like the inner being of Christ himself.
Dallas Willard
There is absolutely nothing in what Jesus himself or his early followers taught that suggests you can decide just to enjoy forgiveness at Jesus' expense and have nothing more to do with him.
Dallas Willard
The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.
Dallas Willard
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
