Sandpiper's Thoughts: A Fruitful Faith
http://sandpipersthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-fruitful-faith.html
Tuesday, June 02, 2015. I taught Bible Study on Sunday evening. The lesson was based on grace. It seems that people can accept that grace is a free gift, but then get stuck in James' writing: "Faith without works is dead.". What does this mean? Does it mean that we really MUST do good works to earn salvation? Does God really count the "stars in our crowns? Or are we missing an important link? Posted by Kim at 10:08 AM. JM Advent to Epiphany Devotional. Other Places of Interest. My posts about the book.

Sandpiper's Thoughts: Both/And Faith
http://sandpipersthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/06/bothand-faith.html
Monday, June 08, 2015. A paragraph from Adam Hamilton's book, Revival. Do you have a "both/and" faith? Do you recognize the importance of both a personal walk with Christ and a gospel that is lived out by good works? Do you seek to love God with your mind, your heart, and your strength? Does your faith reflect both sides of the gospel? Do we grow in holiness and yet ignore the hungry? Do we visit the sick and yet have no relationship with God? What is your weaker side? Posted by Kim at 9:04 AM. When the ...

Sandpiper's Thoughts: The Via Media
http://sandpipersthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-via-media.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. I'm reading Adam Hamilton's book, Revival. I taught Sunday school last weekend, and the lesson touched on the troubling problem of Church division - from arguments in the church whether about when to wash the tablecloths to how to be inclusive of all of God's children. How do we avoid the division and strife that these arguments can create, while at the same time not ignoring challenging theological issues that need to be addressed? Do we find the truth each person possesses? Advent...

Sandpiper's Thoughts: Rules for Facebook
http://sandpipersthoughts.blogspot.com/2015/05/rules-for-facebook.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. From Adam Hamilton's book, Revival. We have forgotten how to listen, as individuals, as churches, and as a nation. Liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, progressives and fundamentalists find it easy to demonize others. The mark of those early Methodists, and a key elements of personal and corporate revival in the twenty-first century, is a willingness to see the good in others, hold our positions with humility, and treat others with respect. I posted the above quo...
