Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

A WORTHLESS FAITH!

James says: What good is it to profess faith without practicing it? Such faith has no power to save one, has it? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and no food for the day, and you say to them, "Good-bye and good luck! Keep warm and well fed," but do not meet their bodily needs, what good is that? So it is with faith that does nothing in practice. It is thoroughly worthless.
                                                  James 2:14-16

What is your faith worth?
