    Sinner’s Prayer

    Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,256 views

    This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

    "What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap. It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation.

    whenever Catholic theology gives an answer, it usually has the word “et” in it. There is always an add-on, an essential “and.”
