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

We have churches full of people who profess all kinds of stuff that they don’t believe. They think that by professing it they’re doing something good. Really, they’re just deluding themselves.

Prayer is talking with God about what we are doing together.

Answer Believe Right True
We cannot handle injustice by finding more ways to impose what is in fact “right” on people. It has to come from the inside. And that’s where the church should be working.

Theology is a part of our lives. It’s unavoidable. A thoughtless theology guides our lives with just as much force as a thoughtful and informed one.

Anand Thakur
What is thinking? It is the activity of searching out what must be true, or cannot be true, in the light of the given facts or assumptions.

Make disciples. Surround them in the reality of the Trinity in a fellowship of disciples. Teach them to do everything Jesus says.

We are invited to make a pilgrimage – into the heart and life of God.

My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing — by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.

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.

When the will is enslaved to a desire, it will in turn enslave the mind.
DALLAS WILLARD

Grace is opposed to earning, but not to effort.
