Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.

Dallas Willard

God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

You really can’t justify anything else but giving your whole attention to spiritual formation in Christ.
DALLAS WILLARD

Attention Form God Spiritual
The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It’s the person you become.

Accomplishment Achievement God Life Person Yourself
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.

The hardest thing about leadership is the intimacy it requires.

Anand Thakur
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

Burden Choice Disappointment Failure Life Right
In one way or another, it is a common mistake to think transformation is all in the will. And it isn’t! It’s in the mind – how we think, what occupies our minds, and so forth. It’s in our feelings. It’s in our body.

The truly powerful ideas are precisely the ones that never have to justify themselves.

People Power Trust
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

Believe Culture Doubt Ideas Live Yourself
That’s the illusion – the idea that you can be all right on the inside and not act it out – and it has affected us in many ways. That’s a part of the idea that professing is enough.
DALLAS WILLARD

Anand Thakur
The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.
DALLAS WILLARD

Anand Thakur
We don’t believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true.
DALLAS WILLARD

Act Believe True
Discipline, strictly speaking, is activity carried on to prepare us indirectly for some activity other than itself. We do not practice the piano to practice the piano well, but to play it well.
DALLAS WILLARD

Anand Thakur

Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.
