Where is our focus?

"If you make doctrine the main thing, you are very likely to grow narrow-minded; if you make your own experience the main thing, you will become gloomy and censorious of others; if you make ordinance the main thing, you will be apt enough to grow merely formal; but you can never make too much of the living Christ Jesus. Remember that all things else are for his sake."--Charles Spurgeon

As a believer, where does my focus lie? Do I focus on being or doing? I like what Dallas Willard says in his book, The Great Omission: "Grace is not opposed to effort, but to earning."

How are these two quotes interrelated? What does anyone think?
