May his blessing be upon us.
Amen.
James 5 : 16 - 20
Chapter 5
| 16 | Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
|
| 17 | Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
|
| 18 | And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
|
| 19 | Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
|
| 20 | let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
