James 2:14 " What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? "

Or quoting after Rev. John Darlington [of Minnehaha United Methodist Church in Minneapolis]: "If we do not display the flag or indulge ourselves in the freedoms that flag stands for, then what's our faith really worth?"
