Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.
Dallas Willard
Image
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.

Jesus is actually looking for people he can trust with his power.

Image
Play is the creation of value that is not necessary.

Image
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
Image
Theology is just what you really think about God, and if you're going to do that, you'd better use your mind and not just let it be a receptacle - a catch-all for whatever beliefs happen to be passing by.
Dallas Willard
Image
Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
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.
