Religion & Spirituality


Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. -- James 5:14-16In James 5, the author speaks to the power and effectiveness of prayer. But is prayer a solitary act, carried out in isolation? In this week’s podcast discussion, the Devotional Doctors consider how prayer, medicine and community are interrelated. The epistle of James depicts the integrated human as part of an integrated church. Confession and healing are linked, as are medicinal oil, fervent prayer, and gathering in community. Our prayer for you is that you would find whole well-being!For more about us, visit www.facebook.com/devotionaldoctors or www.devotionaldoctors.com.
