I listened to a free download of Dallas Willard and thought I'd share two bits of his unique wisdom:
Taking notes (writing things down when you hear them) is equivalent to reading it eight times. Think about that next time you're handed a sermon outline in church.
Love is: The intention to act for the good of the object.
This means that much of what we label love is actually desire.
His example was, "I may say 'I love chocolate cake.' But my intention is not to act for the good of the cake. That's desire."
What problems could be avoided if we ran everything through that filter!
