Prayer

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. 15) 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.” In verse 14, like the previous verse, James asks another rhetorical question to the believers. He asks if there is anyone that is around them that is sick. He then proceeds to…

place of the mosque as it is the place of prayer. In most parts of India, women do not have the right to pray in the mosque.

reading McMinn’s chapters on prayer and scripture in Christian counseling, I can say that there is differently a need for both. McMinn shared the pros and cons about using prayer and scripture, but survey’s seems to indicate that they can be used in some counseling sessions depending on the theoretical orientation of the counselor and the diagnosis of the client (McMinn, 2011, 81).

disciples. This compilation of Jesus’ sermon on the Mount begin after Jesus saw the crowds that made Him went up on a mountainside to teach these people (5:1).

by the public, and seem to violate the U.S. Constitution’s first amendment. A particular trial aroused my attention as well. I disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision in the Engel v. Vitale trial that declared it unconstitutional to openly lead prayer in public schools. According to the Constitution’s first amendment, each U.S. citizen is entitled to religious freedom. In detail, this right establishes the freedom to worship a higher power in whatever manner is preferred. The Constitution…
