Dallas Willard - Living the Eternal Life Now 7: Disciplines for Eternal (Spiritual) Living

About this sermon

After reviewing the key elements of the first six sessions, Dallas moves into the topic of Spiritual Disciplines. What God gets out of our lives is the person we become, and we become the person we do by action. That is how character is formed. Our actions are only possible through grace, but they do require intelligent effort. Training, not trying, indirection, and understanding are essential to doing our part. Dallas offers examples of this with a look at love, blessing, and cursing. He touches on silence and solitude, before running out of time and moving into the very insightful Q&A session…including comments around the world being a perfectly safe place for someone struggling with PTSD, delivering strong rebukes without anger, reconciling an unfulfilled desire for marriage with God’s will, and where to start in reading his books. The full title of this session is "Disciplines for Eternal (Spiritual) Living: Why We Must Act Increasingly to Take on Eternal Life" Listen to this same teaching session on The Dallas Willard Podcast, episode 60.
