More quotes by Dallas Willard
Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.
Dallas Willard
Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.
Dallas Willard
At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.
Dallas Willard
The transformation of the social world is at its heart the transformation of personal relations. That's the key to transforming society in the larger arena.
Dallas Willard
In a world apart from God, the power of denial is absolutely essential if life is to proceed. The will or spirit cannot-psychologically cannot-sustain itself for any length of time in the face of what it clearly acknowledges to be the case. Therefore it must deny and evade and delude itself.
Dallas Willard
My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.
Dallas Willard
The most important thing in your life is not what you do it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
Dallas Willard
Keep eternity before the children.
Dallas Willard
The spirit is the part that is supposed to consciously direct everything in the person, including the soul.
Dallas Willard
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.
Dallas Willard
A leader enables people to love and honor the role they play in the organization or group they are part of
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
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God set it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want.
Dallas Willard
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.
Dallas Willard
Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand' (Matt 3:2, 4:17, 10:7). This is a call for us to reconsider how we have been approaching our life, in light of the fact that we now, in the presence of Jesus, have the option of living within the surrounding movements of God's eternal purposes, of taking our life into his life.
Dallas Willard
The different parts of the automobile like the ignition switch, the various buttons, the steering wheel - the interfaces between the driver and the machine - is our spirit or heart.
Dallas Willard
A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.
Dallas Willard
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.
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
Spiritual formation cannot, in the nature of the case, be a 'private' thing, because it is a matter of whole-life transformation. You need to seek out others in your community who are pursuing the renovation of the heart.
