More quotes by 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 humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.
Dallas Willard
In a world apart from God, the power of denial is absolutely essential if life is to proceed. The will or spirit cannot-psychologically cannot-sustain itself for any length of time in the face of what it clearly acknowledges to be the case. Therefore it must deny and evade and delude itself.
Dallas Willard
Now, of course, you have guidance devices and all sorts of things. The soul would be more like the way this is all hooked together, a system of coordination.
Dallas Willard
And God has set up prayer in such a way that, if you want to explain it away, you can. That's the human mind. God set it up like that for a reason, which is this: God ordained that people should be governed in the end by what they want.
Dallas Willard
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.
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
The most important thing in your life is not what you do it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity.
Dallas Willard
Grace is not opposed to effort it's opposed to earning.
Dallas Willard
The transformation of the social world is at its heart the transformation of personal relations. That's the key to transforming society in the larger arena.
Dallas Willard
A carefully cultivated heart will, assisted by the grace of God, foresee, forestall, or transform most of the painful situations before which others stand like helpless children saying “Why?
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
Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education it's just a matter of which one you get.
Dallas Willard
It would be of course a low voltage spiritual life in which prayer was chiefly undertaken as a discipline, rather than as a way of co-labouring with God to accomplish good things and advancing his Kingdom purposes.
Dallas Willard
Kingdom obedience is kingdom abundance
Dallas Willard
When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, Now what are we going to do about the darkness? It's gone!
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
Discipleship' as a term has lost its content, and this is one reason why it has been moved aside. I've tried to redeem the idea of discipleship, and I think it can be done you have to get it out of the contemporary mode.
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
When we think of taking Christ into the workplace or keeping Christ in the home, we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The specialness of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.
