Dallas Willard Quotes About Righteousness

Quotes about: Righteousness

• To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures, and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved.

  Crush, Disappointment, Toil

  Dallas Willard (2009). “The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives”, p.2, Harper Collins

• I submit my tongue as an instrument of righteousness when I make it bless them that curse me and pray for them who persecute me, even though it "automatically" tends to strike and wound those who have wounded me. I submit my legs to God as instruments of righteousness when I engage them in physical labor as service, perhaps carrying a burden the "second mile" for someone whom I would rather let my legs kick. I submit my body to righteousness when I do my good deeds without letting them be known, though my whole frame cries out to strut and crow.
