Dallas Willard

I've never read Dallas Willard before, but he has some really good insights. E.g, "One is not required to be, or to intend to be, a disciple in order to become a Christian, and one may remain a Christian without any signs of progress toward or in discipleship." In as sense, this seems rather shocking, but in another way, it seems this is one of the central issues that brought our denomination into existence. What do you think? smo
