I am an imperfect man redeemed by an exceedingly perfect God...A beggar at the door of God's mercy, attempting to run headlong into that Grace without abandon.

The disciple is one who, intent upon becoming Christ-like and so dwelling in his “faith and practice,” systematically and progressively rearranges his affairs to that end. -Dallas Willard #TheGreatOmission

Christian spiritual formation is focused entirely on Jesus. Its goal is an obedience or conformity to Christ that arises out of an inner transformation accomplished through purposive interaction with the grace of God in Christ. Renovation of the Heart

"Spiritual practices train our heart to grow continually conscious of the core truth that we are beloved of God...As we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit through the spiritual disciplines, Christ's love is birthed and rebirthed in us." – @KenShigematsu

The condition of life sought for by human beings through the ages is attained in the quietly transforming friendship of Jesus. #DallasWillard #TheDivineConspiracy

The eternal life of which Jesus speaks is not knowledge about God but an intimately interactive relationship with him. #DallasWillard #TheDivineConspiracy

nondiscipleship costs you exactly that abundance of life Jesus said he came to bring (John 10:10). #DallasWillard #TheGreatOmission

"I asked Dallas Willard if he still struggled with sin. He told me he'd gotten so acquainted with the thoughts & coping mechanisms that tripped him up, that when he saw them coming around the bend he turned his back and refuse to show them hospitality." - Mimi Dixon #RI

We have the ability and responsibility to keep God present in our minds, and those who do so will make steady progress toward him, for he will respond by making himself known to us.
