Dallas Willard Quotes
The Test Of Character Posed By The Gentleness Of God's Approach To Us Is Especially Dangerous For Those Formed By The Ideas That Dominate Our Modern World. We Live In A Culture That Has, For Centuries Now, Cultivated The Idea That The Skeptical Person Is Always Smarter Than One Who Believes. You Can Be Almost As Stupid As A Cabbage, As Long As You Doubt. The Fashion Of The Age Has Identified Mental Sharpness With A Pose, Not With Genuine Intellectual Method And Character. Only A Very Hardy Individualist Or Social Rebel
Or One Desperate For Another Life
Therefore Stands Any Chance Of Discovering The Substantiality Of The Spiritual Life Today. Today It Is The Skeptics Who Are The Social Conformists, Though Because Of Powerful Intellectual Propaganda They Continue To Enjoy Thinking Of Themselves As Wildly Individualistic And Unbearably Bright.
