Sunday's Willardism

"In short, nondiscipleship costs you exactly the abundance of life Jesus said he came to bring (John 10:10)" (Dallas Willard - "The Great Omission" page 9)

Weekend Willardism

I heard Dallas Willard say this at a conference a few years ago: "The Kingdom of God is the range of God's effective will."

A Friday Willardism

"You may be very sure that if your sincere intent is to glorify God and bless others in your efforts, and you are not motivated by unloving attitudes, you will see the hand of God move with you as you expetantly do your work." (Dallas Willard - "The Great Omission" page 22)

Thursday's Willardism

"In our culture, and among Christians as well, Jesus Christ is automatically disassociated from brilliance or intellectual capacity." (Dallas Willard - "The Great Omission" page 19)

Wednesday's Willardism

"We will come to understand that for the most part our hurry is really based upon pride, self-importance, fear and lack of faith, and rarely upon the production of anything of true value for anyone." (Dallas Willard - "The Great Omission" page 29)

Willardism of the Day

"Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation and loneliness. You will see the world is not on your shoulders after all." (Dallas Willard - "The Great Omission" pg 36)

Willardisms

My favorite author is Dallas Willard. Over the next few days I'm going to share a few quotes of his that I enjoy.

"Far from being a mere absence, silence allows the reality of God to stand in the midst of your life. It is like the wind of eternity blowing in your face." (The Great Omission, page 36)
