We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.
Dallas Willard
Image
We are built to live in the kingdom of God. It is our natural habitat.
Dallas Willard
Image
Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
As Augustine say clearly, God being God offends human pride. If God is running the universe and has first claim on our lives, guess who isn't running the universe and does not get to have things as they please.
Dallas Willard
Image
Few people arise in the morning as hungry for God as they are for cornflakes or toast and eggs.
Dallas Willard
Image
We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.
Dallas Willard
Image
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.
Dallas Willard
Image
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
Image
Churches are not the kingdom of God, but are primary and inevitable expressions, outposts, and instrumentalities of presence of the kingdom among us. They are 'societies' of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
Image
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
Dallas Willard
Image
When we are formed inwardly, outer issues do become much more manageable.
Dallas Willard
Image
The Bible, of course, is not a theology book. It is certainly not a philosophy book. So we have to derive the meaning of terms from the context in use.
Dallas Willard
Image
Your mind will really talk to you when you begin to deny fulfillment to your desires, and you will find how subtle and shameless it is.
Dallas Willard
Image
God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.
