J's Journal:
Some people think that simply believing in the existence of God constitutes faith. Jesus' half brother James says this to that: "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." (James 2:19) In other words, big deal! As I've said in concerts, I believe that politicians exists, but that doesn't mean I believe IN them. If you believe in somebody, your accompanying actions will provide external evidence.
Yes, we're saved by grace through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but once Christ is in your heart, good works naturally follow (Ephesians 2:10). As Jesus said in Luke 6:46: "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?"
Speaking of works, this is yet another song written while I was doing yard work (i.e. mowing the front lawn).

Big Deal
Parody of "Big Me" by Foo Fighters
(James 2:14-26, Acts 26:20)
Well, you talk about your faith in God -- read James chapter 2
Well, you talk about your faith in God -- trees must all bear fruit
Big deal to talk about it -- demons do that, too
They believe that there's one God but that don't make them good
Well, you talk about your faith in God -- Jesus knows if it's true
But it's proved by what you do
When you talk about your faith in God -- feed the destitute
When you talk about your faith in God -- give them clothes and shoes
Big deal to talk about it -- demons do that, too
They see that there's one God and tremble when they do
When you talked about your faith in God, I never doubted you
But it's proved by what you do
Well, I don't deny that faith is all savin' me and you
But it's proved by what you do -- by what you do -- by what you do
