Dallas Willard
Image
Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have never decided to follow Christ.
Dallas Willard
Image
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
Image
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.
Dallas Willard
Image
Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings. Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we do not.
Dallas Willard
Image
There is no avoiding the fact that we live at the mercy of our ideas This is never more true than with our ideas about God.
Dallas Willard
Image
I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.
Dallas Willard
Image
We live in a culture that has, for centuries now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can almost be as stupid as a cabbage as long as you doubt.
Dallas Willard
Image
One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it.
Dallas Willard
Image
I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.
Dallas Willard
Image
Jesus is actually looking for people he can trust with his power.
Dallas Willard
Image
No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
