It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.
Dallas Willard
Image
It is the responsibility of every Christ-centred follower to carve out a satisfying life under the loving rule of God or else sin will start to look good.
Dallas Willard

If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.
Dallas Willard
Image
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.
