The Reality of Prayer in Crisis Situations
Share This article
The San Bernardino shooting has sparked a debate about the reality of prayer in crisis situations.
In the wake of Wednesday's mass shootings, GOP presidential candidates Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., offered their condolences and prayers for the victims and their families.
That prompted strong criticism from the editors of the New York Daily News who published a front page headline proclaming, "God Isn't Fixing This."
The page featured the tweets of Cruz and Paul as well as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., suggesting that they were cowards for praying but not taking action to pass gun control laws.
Is the expression of prayer an appropriate response during times of crisis? CBN News Spoke with Dr. Cornelius Bekker, dean of the School of Divinity at Regent University about the true power of prayer.
