Faith, or belief?

An interesting notation from having taken a class in adult spiritual formation…

The Bible does not say–for by Grace you have been saved through belief, and that, not of yourselves, is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

Have some of us got that backwards?

theological systems and ideologies

I am no theologian.

But as I was thinking about the political ideologies needing salt and light, it occurred to me that there may be the same issues with theological “systems”

political ideologies are subject to salt and light

I will admit to something…I have been all over the map politically…from flaming liberal Democrat to squeakily conservative Republican.   I was wrong on both ends.

Coming to grips

I suppose there comes a time in most people’s lives where they have the opportunity to re-examine who they are, what they believe, what’s worthwhile and, in the case of Christians,  what does it mean to be a follower of Christ?
