     | 1,154 views

    Habakkuk asked God why bad people succeed while good people do not. God's answer, they don't.

    The Punishing Rod Part One Habakkuk 1:1-11 When Habakkuk was disturbed, he brought his interests straightforwardly to God.

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it?
