Dallas Willard

I have just started reading The Spirit of the Disciplines written by Dallas Willard. He had some very interesting points in the first chapter. Here is a direct quote: Christianity has not so much been tried and found wanting, as it has been found difficult and untried. Is to err human? Would Jesus have asked us to do something that is to hard? Do we live the Christ like life in entirety, do we adopt His overall life-style? What was His overall life-style? We tend to believe that living as Christ lived only involves loving our enemies, going the second mile, and turning the other cheek. The rest of the time we tend to live just like everyone else. There is no way we can behave on the spot the Christ did when live as everyone else does when we are not on the spot. Asking what would Jesus do? is not an adequate way to prepare ourselves to face the on the spot situations. How did Jesus prepare? Solitude, fasting, silence, service, prayer, celebration. These things are disciplines. What is the secret to the easy yoke? It is simply living as Christ lived in all aspects of the Christian life not just choosing certain times and places to act like a Christian. Is this the problem with people today? I think I am slowly realizing this is what is wrong with my life. How do you find it?
