Developing Faith
An Examination of Prayer and the Study of an Interesting Man
“The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. 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 earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.” James 5:16–18 (HCSB)
“I like that phrase too [Elijah was a man with a nature like ours], because we think about some of the heroes of the old Testament, and we want to put them up on a pedestal, we want to put them up into some place of, y’know, Heroes of the Bible. Was he a hero of the Bible? Yes, but don’t ever think for one minute that he was not just as human as you or I.”
