More quotes by Dallas Willard
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
Dallas Willard
Discipleship' as a term has lost its content, and this is one reason why it has been moved aside. I've tried to redeem the idea of discipleship, and I think it can be done you have to get it out of the contemporary mode.
Dallas Willard
To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures, and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved.
Dallas Willard
Keep eternity before the children.
Dallas Willard
The people to whom we minister and speak will not recall 99 percent of what we say to them, but they will never forget the kind of persons we are.
Dallas Willard
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
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.
Dallas Willard
Today we are apt to downplay or disregard the importance of good thinking to strong faith and some, disastrously, even regard thinking as opposed to faith.
Dallas Willard
I believe that every human being is sufficiently depraved that when we get to heaven, no one will be able to say, I merited this.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.
Dallas Willard
Human beings are at their core defined by what they worship rather than primarily by what they think, know, or believe. That is bound up with the central Augustinian claim that we are what we love.
Dallas Willard
The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
Those who have been touched by forgiveness and new life and have thus entered into God's rule become, like Jesus, bearers of that rule.
Dallas Willard
Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort.
Dallas Willard
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. That is why the first of the Ten Commandments, “You shall have no gods who take priority over me,” is the first of the Ten Commandments.
Dallas Willard
The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.
Dallas Willard
Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.
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
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.
