Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Keep eternity before the children (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Clinical depression is an extreme form of a ‘bad mood.’ (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Many churches are measuring the wrong things. We measure things like attendance and giving, but we should be looking at more fundamental things like anger, contempt, honesty, and the degree to which people are under the thumb of their lusts. Those things can be counted, but not as easily as offerings. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Obedience to Christ is the easy way, take my yoke... (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life (Dallas Willard Quotes)
God does not ‘love’ us without liking us... (Dallas Willard Quotes)
God will meet us and help us (Dallas Willard Quotes)

When I left home after graduating high school, I left as a migrant agricultural worker with a Modern Library edition of Plato in my duffel bag. It sounds kind of crazy, but I loved it. I loved the stuff. Before I knew there was a subject called philosophy, I loved it (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart’s being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God’s action (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Jesus is the human face on the kingdom of God. He makes it concretely accessible (Dallas Willard Quotes)
The core of the person is what he or she loves, and that is bound up with what they worship - that insight recalibrates the radar for cultural analysis. The rituals and practices that form our loves spill out well beyond the sanctuary. Many secular liturgies are trying to get us to love some other kingdom and some other gods (Dallas Willard Quotes)
At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life (Dallas Willard Quotes)
The basic question ‘will I obey Christ ‘s teaching?’ is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus’ commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don’t know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command (Dallas Willard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
You can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you could trust your doctor and your auto mechanic and not intend to follow their advice. If you don’t intend to follow their advice, you simply don’t trust them. Period. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God’s (Dallas Willard Quotes)
The aim of spiritual formation is not behavior modification but the transformation of all those aspects of you and me where behavior comes from...Circumcision of the heart. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Does Christ commend the famous ‘apathy’ of the Stoic or the Buddhist elimination of desire? Far from it. The issue is not just feeling or desire, but right feeling or desire, or being controlled by feeling or desire. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
I believe that every human being is sufficiently depraved that when we get to Heaven, no one will be able to say, ‘I merited this.’ (Dallas Willard Quotes)
The open secret of many Bible believing Churches is that a vanishingly small percentage of those talking about prayer and Bible reading are actually doing what they are talking about. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Great power requires great character if it is to be a blessing and not a curse, and that character is something we only grow toward. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
We renovate the heart by, of course, changing it, but we can’t do that, really, without changing the other essential parts of the human personality. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
Spiritual formation is character formation. 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 Quotes)
What sometimes goes on in all sorts of Christian institutions is not formation of people in the character of Christ; it’s teaching of outward conformity. You don’t get in trouble for not having the character of Christ, but you do if you don’t obey the laws. (Dallas Willard Quotes)
