Viewing the law as something we can or must acheive (self-idolatry), however, repeats the degradation of the law committed by the Pharisees at the time of Jesus. It is turned from an instrument of grace to an instrument of cultural self-righteousness and human oppression.DW p. 148

Welcome to our online discussion of Dallas Willard and Jan Johnson's Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Experiments in Spiritual Transformation. Each day, Monday-Friday, I will post the title of that day's chapter and maybe an excerpt from the chapter. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to read that day's selection from the book then click on the comment link and add your $.02 to the conversation. If you are a highlighter maybe just share what you highlighted and why you highlighted it. Maybe something really resonated with you as you tackled that day's experiment, share that with us. Maybe, as happened with me, the first time I read the book, God will reveal something to you. Read the comments that others leave, respond to each other, ask for clarification, let someone know you connected with a comment they left. My hope is that working through this book together we will get much more out of it, we might not only grow in Christlikeness but grow closer to each other. If you have any technical difficulties please email me at tkay3atcharterdotnet.

I work so hard today to keep my heart and soul close to God. Keeping a distance from hurts me and my family. the written law God gave us is one of the greatest gifts of grace.That makes me want to walk in the way of Christ.
