James 2

I was discussing a line in a song with my friend Connie (yes, I am still listening obsessively to U2). I don't know if this is what it means, but it is a fun parallel, don't you think?

You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I were able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

-Bono, Crumbs From Your Table

And...

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?

-James 2:15-16, NIV
