How to Save Your Life

September 12, 2011

 When you think about the phrase “being saved,” most people think about saving their soul. But what about the rest of you? Dallas explains that salvation is for every aspect of our lives and helps us understand how to redeem our time and bring everything we do back into the kingdom of God.

 Definitions:

·      “Spiritual formation” is the process of shaping the individual so that they love God with all their heart, with all their soul, with all their mind, and with all their strength, and they love their neighbor as themselves.

·      “Salvation” is being caught up in the life that Jesus is now living on earth.

·      “Redemption” is to buy something back.

·      “Beauty” is goodness made present to the senses. 

·      “Truth” is a reflection of reality, including beauty and goodness. 

·      “Goodness” is all that nourishes and strengthens human life in a proper order.

Following Christ: Taking on the Mind of Christ 

January 1, 2003

"The Following Christ conference was an annual event hosted by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Dallas had the honor of speaking at the closing session of the conference that took place in Atlanta, GA, December 28, 2002 - January 1, 2003. He painted a beautiful picture of what it means to follow Christ, urging believers to embrace the mind of Christ as outlined in Philippians 2. 

 Philippians 2:1-8
Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.

Worship as the Fine Texture of Real Life

January 25, 2008

At the 2008 Calvin College Symposium of Worship, Dallas spoke on “Worship as the Fine Texture of Real Life.” He explained what worship is and how it can become a part of everything we do. 

Dallas read these two definitions of worship:

1.     "In worship we engage ourselves with, dwell upon, and express the supreme greatness, beauty and goodness of God – primarily through thought and devotion of our wills, but usually also with the aid of words, rituals and symbols, frequently in union with others." 
 — Dallas Willard (The Spirit of the Disciplines)

2.     "Worship is admiration to the point of wonder and delight." 
 — A.W. Tozer

Continuing this theme of pointing out where our priorities are, Dallas added:

Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California
April 3, 1983

Scripture: Matthew 13:1-30 (especially 24-30), Matthew 13:47-53

In today’s episode, we see how “The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares” and “The Parable of the Net” illustrate that there are many differences in the kinds of people who find a place in the kingdom of God. This includes understanding that some people who are living IN the kingdom or not OF the kingdom. Being IN something is a much more superficial thing than being OF it. But God has said “whosoever will may come,” and it is His desire for us to grow together. So we need
to be careful to stay focused on Jesus and the best ways to help ourselves and be his disciples.

This is the fifth session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” The series is the foundation of a new book available on October 15th called “The Scandal of the Kingdom.” The book offers an opportunity to dig more deeply into the parables of Jesus.

Two Sons (Matt. 21:28-32), Two Debtors (Luke 7:36-50) and another Two Sons (Luke 15:11-32).

Parables: The Parable of the Two Sons, The Prodigal Son, and stories of two debtors.

Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California
April 17, 1983

Scripture:  Luke 15:11-32; Luke 7:36-50; Matthew 21:28-32

In this episode we study two parables and two true stories about people who have been lost and then found their way back to God. 

1.     The Parable of the Two Sons who said one thing but did another.

2.     The story of Zacchaeus 

3.     The Parable of the Prodigal Son

4.     The story of the woman who washed Jesus’ feet at Simon’s house

In each case, the pharisees were on the scene. Jesus was trying to help them understand the ways we can be lost, and how ready God is to forgive and receive each of us when we come back to him.

This is the seventh session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” This series is the foundation for Dallas’s book, The Scandal of the Kingdom, published October 15, 2024. Learn more about the book at
