"It makes several generalities about chrisitanity that I disagree with, such as Salvation is by grace alone, works don't matter! "

Agreed. Being a Jesus implored the people to do good works. He also implored them NOT to do good works for the sake of accolades, medals, etc. In other words, don't do good works for personal gain. "Let not the left hand know what the right is doing." I'm not sure if that's an exact quote, but I know it's close.

Jesus was the first to promote "random acts of kindness", for the sake of G_d, and for the sake of humanity. I.e.: good works.

I do works because of love and obediance. Whatever I do is God's will and God's mercy and God's power not mine!
