The Punishing Rod Part 2 Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 27, 2022

When we merit correction or discipline, how can we or why do we grumble and complain about what type of "ROD" that God utilizes on us?

Habakkuk 1:12 – 2:20 Now the prophet asks a second question. How can God allow such a godless nation to be allowed to bring judgment upon His children? Granted Judah has been wicked, but how can God use another wicked nation to punish them? Although this is hard to understand, Habakkuk waits on ...read more

God Works In Mysterious Ways

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 24, 2022

If you ask Christian which is their favorite book of the Bible the answer will vary from Genesis to Revelations. However, probably very few if any would say my favorite book of the Bible is Habakkuk.

The reason they would not choose this book as their favorite is because they do not know that much about the book of Habakkuk. Let me share a few things with you about this precious book of the Bible and it might become your favorite. Let’s look at… I. THE BOOK Out of the sixty six books of ...read more

The Privilege Of Prayer

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 9, 2022

Earthly kings & presidents DO NOT ALLOW ACCESS to themselves by average people! How different God is, to seek out the lowest, the least, & the nobodies - though He's the Creator & King of kings. Prayer is a priceless privilege; make sure you use it!

THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER Heb. 10:19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BRAGGING OF PERFECTION 1. One denomination believes you can “pray through” to perfection. One member of this group went to see a Christian neighbor. He struck up the subject of the believer's perfection. 2. The neighbor said, ...read more

The Right To Question God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

It is normal and natural to be angry when we suffer evil, and often we will be angry at God for not preventing it. This is valid and God gives us the right to question Him.

The right to question God is a right that God Himself has given to His children. He inspired men of God to write about their own questioning of God’s ways of dealing with the evils of life and all of its suffering and injustice. None is more bold than the prophet Habakkuk. He begins his book ...read more

A Solid Word In Shaky Times
