Want to be like Jesus? Focus less on being like him and more on being with him. His attributes must be caught before they can be imitated.
What is the Church to be for Christ today? Very simply, people formed into his image. missioalliance.org/formation-for-… via @richvillodas
Just a reminder: Spiritual formation will save the church.
People are much more excited to learn with you than they are to learn from you. @AdamMGrant careynieuwhof.com/episode405/
If we’re not careful, we can subtly (or not-so-subtly) paint the picture that an authentic Jesus follower is relentlessly optimistic, tirelessly energetic, emotionally expressive, and magnetically sociable. In other words, pure nightmare fuel for introverts. - @iamjoeterrell
Eugene Peterson said it best: "Busyness is the enemy of spirituality. It is essentially laziness. It is doing the easy thing instead of the hard thing. It is taking charge." (2)
"Our central message – our ‘gospel’ – must be one that has a natural tendency to produce disciples of Jesus, not just avid consumers of religious goods and services." —Dallas Willard, from the foreword 'Renovation of the Church'
A fish absorbs oxygen from water, not air, so it's free only if it is restricted to water. If a fish is ‘freed’ from the river and put out on the grass its freedom to move and even live is destroyed. Real freedom is finding the right restrictions, the ones you were designed for.

Some of y’all asked for an encore with “Great is thy faithfulness” & “It is well with my soul.” Our parents’ only condition was that we would join them at the table, so we did. I hope my singing didn’t ruin it for y’all. This was followed by going around the table giving thanks.
Spiritual formation in Christlikeness should be the exclusive primary goal of the local congregation. This is what one would naturally expect after having read what Paul says.#DallasWillard #Renovation20 #ChurchGrowth

Here’s the thing that can be difficult to wrap our minds around: If you make disciples, you always get the church. But if you make a church, you rarely get disciples. - Michael Breen
It is almost universally conceded today that you can be a Christian without being a disciple. A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do. dwillard.org/articles/rethi… #DivineConspiracy #Discipleship
Jesus is the point of the gospel. Growing in likeness to Jesus by the transformation of the Spirit from glory to glory is the point of discipleship. Jesus is not the means to an end goal of doctrinal knowledge. Growing in Scripture is a means toward the end goal of knowing Jesus.
