Wow! John Ortberg is just as good as Dallas Willard! (I guess he should be, he’s Dallas’s friend and student!)

Dallas Willard’s message, in a nutshell: The Gospel is not JUST about forgiveness of sins, though that is essential. The gospel is: “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand “ That the Kingdom of Heaven is available to you, right here and right now, right where you are!

24:15 seeking God 27:01 I’m so grateful to God for these videos ❤️

I've never succeeded at emptying my mind. I do try and quiet myself before the Lord and listen for Him and also speak to Him. Eastern meditation lacks the relational aspect that Christian meditation or contemplation have. Some are concerned that Satan will impersonate Jesus when one queits themselves before Him. Okay, but isn't Jesus more powerful than Satan? If I ask Jesus to protect me won't He? One doesn't always need to be talking to God in order to be with Him just in the same way I don't always need to talk to my wife in order to be with her. Sometimes just silently being with each other is enough.

I think I'm going to have to listen to that a few times to get it...

Been waiting. Still waiting

Dallas has real wisdom.

Occam's razor removed the vanity, the duality, the local mythological nonsense leaving us with; Soul = Consciousness! One Consciousness /One Soul!

It's 2024 and this couldn't be more relevant. Thank you for continuing to distribute and provide the teachings of Dallas Willard.

What book was Dallas reading from? Around 7:51

Colossians 3:1-17 NIV Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [2] Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. [3] For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. [5] Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. [6] Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. [7] You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. [8] But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. [9] Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices [10] and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. [11] Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. [12] Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. [13] Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. [14] And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. [15] Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. [16] Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. [17] And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I can't wait to meet Dallas in heaven. Thank you God for your servant, Mr. Willard.

When and where was this talk given? Dallas sounds quite young, maybe 55 years old. That means this was in the year 2000 or so

So wonderful how Dallas gets busted up by the Love of God near the end of this talk. It’s clear his soul was richly aware of Jesus’ goodness and how lost and broken up People are in America today

I have many of his books. Life without lack living the 23rd Psalm is my favorite book.

Amazing message. But did Jesus or the disciples say or show we should be silent before God. My spirit says Dallas is spot on. But I see the biblical progression... Pray in upper room then holy spirit comes and they become "noisy" and go out to change the world. What you guys think? And I think that the reason why Dallas used that verse women remain silent is because there was no other verse in the NT. And he used it out of context.

Do you really want the public schools teaching kids they’re spiritual beings ? When all those liberal teachers teach them New Age spirituality ? On what basis will Christians THEN say no we don’t want that. The Founders were WISE to require the State to be neutral on religion, in the 1st Amendment.

So Dallas thought Dark Matter was the physical presence of God, holding the universe together. What happens to his God if science actually DETECTS that matter as physical stuff ? This kind of thing HAS happened over and over since the Scientific Revolution of the 17th Century. Your God, who (you suppose) lives in the gaps in human knowledge, shrinks as our knowledge expands.

Beginning at 46:25, Dallas has a lot to say about science and the supposed wrong beliefs of some scientists, but he starts by making a HUGE scientific blunder, saying that when you burn wood or gas you “turn matter into energy”. NO, you DON’T. You just release the energy bound up in the prior organization of that matter. If you collect all the ash, particles and gas from a wood fire, they will weigh EXACTLY the same as the wood ! It takes a nuclear fission or fusion reaction, like the Hiroshima bomb, or the Sun, respectively, to actually convert matter into energy according to Einstein’s equation. So much Christian criticism of “science” comes from people like Dallas who are full of unproven theological and philosophical ideas, but who just don’t know the nuts and bolts of the science that they’re trying to talk about. Don’t ask me to CARE about their sweeping criticisms of science or scientists.

Dallas is talking serious stuff and the people are laughing at the wrong times. Its almost like canned laughter. Anyway thank you Dallas.

So powerful, impactful and life changing. Thank you Dallas.

I'm guessing it's William James One of his most famous books is "The varieties of religious experiences"

The audience was ready to giggle and take more lightly things that Dallas was not joking about. He says it in a way that makes it seems comical that we could misunderstand some of these truths of the scripture, but really it is quite somber when someone misunderstands…

“Spirit is not bodily” ? Really, Dallas ? All the evidence of daily life, and neuroscience, demonstrates that what you call spirit, IS a function of the physical brain. Change the brain, you change the spirit of a person. Temporarily, in the case of a drunk person. Permanently, in the case of brain damage. Google the case of Phineas Gage.

I live right by Wayfarers chapel, glass chapel, and I can't visit it now due to erosion! 😢

I’m so thankful for this message. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Thank you so much for posting this! I’m getting so much out of it. God bless you all for making this available. What a huge blessing. ❤ this answers a lot of questions that I’ve been wondering about.

"Eternal life isn't just long… It is the quality of God's life. "

I have listened to quite a few of Dallas Willard's talks now, and I feel in this very short talk he seems to have distilled the wisdom he gained during his life into a concise, considered, and pithy challenge to consider again what it means to enter kingdom life, and then to operate from that life. Echoing the thoughts of others, thank you for uploading this talk.

There is something wrong with watching a Dallas Willard video about coming to willpower and staying off alcohol and then getting an ad for alcohol in the adverts. Is money worth letting the devil in?

Too bad united methodists have fallen so far these days in 2024

Jesus is King of all.

Wow! The whole world needs to hear this!

Sooo grateful for this ...

amen

amen

Thank you for the upload. So full of things to learn which are valuable. I always listen to Dallas teaching many times

Thankfully it is coming to light how we are to conduct ourselves making disciples. Jesus is head we are the body

in old books and lots of jewish sources and many others showing that all through the old testament when it was talking about wisdom, she is described as being female, so HolySpirit always described as being female in ancient Hebrew!!! what do you think???

This is an Eric Metaxas event, who’s an apologist for that immoral sociopathic criminal, Trump. He’s part of a cult of “Christian” nationalist bullies. That’s profoundly irrational, and just plain wicked. In fact, Metaxas physically assaulted a Trump heckler on the street outside a White House event he’d attended. It’s partly caught on YT video, with his wife audibly crying out “Eric” in alarm at her husband’s behavior. That’s not the fruit of ACTUAL reason, or true spirituality.

Holy spirit is not a HE!!!!

What he says about Jesus is just silly. Jesus was a human being as well as divine. Why should He necessarily be the greatest mathematician ? Did He demonstrate mathematical genius, ever ? Was he the physically strongest man ? The most handsome ? (No, per Isaiah 53). He got tired, he thirsted, he had to sleep. We’re told He GREW as a youth into certain virtues. Sure, he had ACCESS to supernatural power and knowledge, but as a human he didn’t walk around with it all the time.

This is all just a bald ASSERTION that Christian dogma is true, without any objective DEMONSTRATION. Academic fields must have empirical methods of demonstrating ideas, which someone is claiming to be objective knowledge. An historian points to physical documents, dated from the period in question, that record that an event happened in the way he claims. How can any Christian OBJECTIVELY demonstrate, for example, that God exists and is composed of 3 persons ? Can they say a prayer to that being which RELIABLY produces a miraculous result that alters physical reality in a measurable way ? Of course not. Muslim scholars think that they possess “knowledge” of Allah. How does the Christian scholar PROVE that Yahweh is God, not Allah ?

This is all just a bald assertion that Christian dogma is true, without any objective demonstration. Academic fields must have empirical methods of gathering and testing ideas which someone is claiming to be objective knowledge. How can any Christian OBJECTIVELY demonstrate, for example, that God exists and is composed of 3 persons ? Can they say a prayer to those 3 invisible beings which produces a miraculous result that alters physical reality in a measurable way ? Of course not.

Such wonderful teachings , many nuggets of gold. Takes a life time to learn. Thank you so much

Thank you! Dallas deeply promoted "Christian thought."

Dallas, your Natural Law argument against the morality of homosexuality has already defeated itself, you just don’t know, or want to accept, the biological basis of male (at least) homosexuality. Not genetic, but biological. Read Wikipedia on the Older Brother Effect for the overwhelming evidence that being a gay male is as natural (given by Nature) as being left handed. The prenatal biochemical mechanisms are very similar.

Dallas--- thank you for your great works: Hearing God, The divine conspiracy, spirit of the disciplines and more. All of which have had a great impact on my views of life, myself, and God.

I've listened to your interviews with Dr. Willard. I have noticed he always had a reasonable response to every question you asked. I used to think he knew which questions were coming. I now think because he took Jesus into every thought and action of his life, he came, over time, to be able to answer the questions we all as asking and relevant to living. While age is a hot topic, it takes a while of living as an apprentice of Jesus to be able to work Jesus' words into every "nook and cranny". Thank you for this video, John. I feel it is one of the best presentations of life transformation you've ever given.

Amen😊
