Faith in Action
Martin Luther seems to have been a one-track person.
One track was that we are saved by ‘faith alone’.
And although he also taught that the Bible was the only source
of inspiration/knowledge about God, he was not happy about the Letter of James
and wanted it removed from the canon of Scripture (see quotation below).
Every one of us goes off on a tangent about something.
Not one of us knows it all. The best we can is to be A Christian:
carrying Christ in our hearts and minds as we encounter
the Christ in others and take action, in faith.
‘When I needed a neighbour were you there, were you there?’
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.”
Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
James 2:18
Our Polynesian neighbours in Tonga have had Mothers’ Union for over 60 years.
Let us pray for the 60 members there and take action to connect with them.
