Spiritual Formation

I found this quote by Dallas Willard on spiritual formation. Enjoy!

Spiritual formation in a Christian tradition answers a specific human question: What kind of person am I going to be? It is the process of establishing the character of Christ in the person. That's all it is. You are taking on the character of Christ in a process of discipleship to him under the direction of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

That's great! I love Dallas Willard's thoughts...when I can understand them! He's pretty deep for my simple mind sometimes.

I hear you on understanding him. He can be very deep and hard to wrap my mind and heart around.
