In the area of social righteousness we cannot be right on the inside and not do it. We cannot! Of course we have people who pretend that they can, but it simply isn't true.

More quotes by Dallas Willard
A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.
Dallas Willard
Churches are not the kingdom of God, but are primary and inevitable expressions, outposts, and instrumentalities of presence of the kingdom among us. They are 'societies' of Jesus.
Dallas Willard
What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.
Dallas Willard
The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.
Dallas Willard
Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.
Dallas Willard
In thus sending out his trainees, [Jesus] set afoot a perpetual world revolution: one that is still in process and will continue until God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven.... He has chosen to accomplish this with and, in part, through his students.
Dallas Willard
We need to understand that Jesus is a thinker, that this is not a dirty word but an essential work, and that his other attributes do not preclude thought, but only ensure that he is certainly the greatest thinker of the human race: the most intelligent person who ever lived on earth
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
He [Peter after the resurrection] now understood that he and the church were to exercise a transcendent power that did not depend upon having a kingdom or government in any human sense, for it was literally a God government in which they were participants (Acts 1:6-8).
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
If you have a group of people come together around a vision for real discipleship, people who are committed to grow, committed to change, committed to learn, then a spiritual assessment tool can work.
Dallas Willard
Kingdom obedience is kingdom abundance
Dallas Willard
Make disciples. Surround them in the reality of the Trinity in a fellowship of disciples. Teach them to do everything Jesus says.
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
One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it.
Dallas Willard
Spiritual transformation into Christ-likeness in not going to happen unless we act... What transforms us is the will to obey Jesus Christ.
Dallas Willard
If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.
Dallas Willard
If we reject the Christian answer, we still have the problem. We're going to adopt some alternative, because the questions will not go away, the questions of, What kind of person am I becoming? and What is my role in that? and so on.
Dallas Willard
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
Dallas Willard
To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures, and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved.
Dallas Willard
