Apples/Oranges. We know from Scripture that faith comes from hearing. We also know that Scripture exhorts us to do good works. Since our sermons are based on Scripture it should come as no surprise to anyone, well most anyone, that if we are to hear all of Scripture will hear exhortations to do good works as part of out new status as sons/daughters of the King.
If works followed automatically from faith without involvement of the free will, there would be no more need to exhort people to charity than there is a need to exhort people to eat when they are hungry.
Why is that? Hind brain dominant activities have NOTHING at all to do with spiritual life of the elect. Your caricature of Sovereign Grace is, as usual, incorrect. As I pointed out above no one claims that good works automatically follows faith. It comes from good Biblical expository preaching, the kind that doesn't mix apples and oranges. Just like Scripture teaches.
That is news to me. On this thread alone, I am sure I can find more than once a spin on James 2:17-26 that would revolve on exactly that idea, that works follow proper faith. If it now looks to you like a caricature on Protestant exegesis, maybe you should revise your basic theology.
It is very good, on the othor hand, that Protestant pastors preach what the Bible teaches. One day they will all be Catholic then.
