More quotes by Dallas Willard
What a child does when not told what to do is the final indicator of what and who that child is.
Dallas Willard
When the will is enslaved to a desire, it will in turn enslave the mind.
Dallas Willard
If we do not make formation in Christ the priority, then we're just going to keep on producing Christians that are indistinguishable in their character from many non-Christians.
Dallas Willard
We see that the soul is the deepest and the most vital part of the person as a whole. It is often treated as the person, and we actually do this when we talk about saving our soul.
Dallas Willard
The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become.
Dallas Willard
The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.
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
The disciple of Jesus is not the deluxe or heavy-duty model of the Christian-especially padded, textured, streamlined, and empowered for the fast lane on the straight and narrow way. He stands on the pages of the New Testament as the first level of basic transportation in the kingdom of God.
Dallas Willard
Today it is the skeptics who are the social conformists, though because of powerful intellectual propaganda they continue to enjoy thinking of themselves as wildly individualistic and unbearably bright.
Dallas Willard
Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness
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
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
Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort.
Dallas Willard
Keep eternity before the children.
Dallas Willard
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. Those who come though me will be safe, he said. They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the fullest
Dallas Willard
It would be strange if we came to shun the genuine simply because it resembled the counterfeit.
Dallas Willard
We're not here to prove we're right we're here to help people.
Dallas Willard
The needed transformation is very largely a matter of replacing in ourselves those idea systems of evil (and their corresponding cultures) with the idea system that Jesus Christ embodied and taught and with a culture of the kingdom of God.
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
The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.
