Reflections with Andy - James 5: 13-20 - The Prayer of the Righteous

from Andy Talks · host Andy Stoddard

We finish up James with one of its most well-known verses. It’s one of those verses I can’t help but say in the old King James - “The prayer of the righteous availeth much.”  The Bible tells us, in several passages, that somehow, our prayers have an effect on God. How does that work?  How do our prayers change God? I have no idea. But it does make us stop and ask the question. Do we pray like our prayers will make a difference? Do we pray like our prayers really matter?  Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
