Quotes for writing of Dallas Willard
Resurrection of Jesus: Luke 24 Bible Project video watch it here
"Salvation is not just forgiveness, but a new order of life. We must engage in a radical rethinking of the Christian conception of salvation. What does it mean to be “saved?” What do people understand when they hear “salvation,” “redemption,” and other New Testament terms used to refer to God’s action in restoring women and men to their intended place in his world? Is it possible that we’ve been robbed of the words’ true and coherent concepts?" p.32⠀The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard

This painting connects the countless experiences of people victimized by racial profiling. It also references the artist’s personal account of being stopped and frisked by the police during college. Spann states that the painting draws upon the “intensity of that moment being profiled,” or what he calls being “marked.”"Yes, it was the Father's will--this is clear from dozens of passages--but it was the Son's choice. Even at the very end, just before His death, Jesus said, "Don't you know that I could call to My Father and He would send more than 12 legions of angels?" Matthew 26:53
