Happy Birthday Dr. Willard!

This Saturday, September 4th, will be Dr. Willard's 75th birthday. While we're not planning a big celebration, if anyone would like to send a birthday greeting to him at feedback@dwillard.org, we will print it and give it to him this weekend. Thank you!


New Audio in Our Resource Section:

The Church as a Community of the Kingdom of God

This 7-session conference led by Dr. Willard and Todd Hunter took place on November 4-7, 2004. Our thanks to the staff of Church of the Open Door in Maple Grove, MN for allowing us to make these recordings available at no charge.

 

Dr. Willard's recent interviews from the Frank Pastore Show are now available in our Audio section. Topics discussed include the presence of evil in the world, the history of Spiritual Formation, and why there is a hell.

 

 

The realities of Christian spiritual formation are that we will not be transformed "into His likeness" by more information, or by infusions, inspirations, or ministrations alone. Though all of these have an important place, they never suffice, and reliance upon them alone explains the now-common failure of committed Christians to rise much above a certain level of decency.
