When we consider the glory of the heavens, the universe, and the earth and the stars and that this majestic creation was only the work of God’s hands and fingers, we should be astounded by the glory of God manifested in creation. Not just the glory of God, but we should be humbled and astounded […]

When we consider how the just are to live by faith, we need to examine the great cloud of witnesses from Heb. 11 to see examples that we can follow of how to live by faith. Many of the men and women in the hall of fame of faith were in situations where it did […]

In Jer. 29, a few years after Habakkuk, there are still 57 years left of the Babylonian captivity. The encouragement to those in Babylon is to build houses, plant vineyards, marry your children, and to grow so that they would increase in Babylon. Many of those encouraged to be faithful in captivity would never see […]

In the concluding chapter of Habakkuk, we see this man’s personal revival of faith. He goes from burden, complaining, perplexity, to prayer for revival, then ends up at faith, joy, and praising the Lord by singing. In like manner, we can have our faith revived and end up at joy despite what circumstances we are […]

Elder Tim McCool contrasts the king of Sodom who makes of think of the devil and the world with Melchizedek, the king of Salem, the king of righteousness, who points us towards Jesus Christ. Which king do you want to serve? We should seek to serve Jesus Christ, the king of righteousness who loves his […]

Elder Buddy Abernathy considers two types of believers and two types of unbelievers, particularly the children of God who have been blinded by the devil lest they should believe the glorious gospel of Christ. Many children of God can get distracted by the temptations of Satan to not believe the true gospel as they ought […]

Elder Tim McCool gives us the picture of the ascent of the ark back to Jerusalem from Psalm 24. That points us towards the true picture of the ark, which was Jesus Christ who was our mercy seat to bring forgiveness for the broken law. As we seek up today unto Mount Zion, we invite […]

Elder Morgan Sims reminds us that what children of God need is the simple truths of the milk of the word of election, predestination, and God’s sovereignty in salvation. In addition, we are especially sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise when we believe in the gospel of our salvation.

In natural creation, we see God’s sovereignty manifested which also shows us of God’s sovereignty in spiritual creation. God did not request the darkness’s permission or consent to impose light upon it. God simply said, let there be light and there was light. The same is true in regeneration: God says let there be light […]

When we are overwhelmed by physical or circumstantial suffering, we might be tempted to become hasty with our words and question where the Lord is at in the midst of this trial. The Lord reminds us he is on his throne, he is in his holy temple, he is still in control of this world […]

We acutely feel Habakkuk’s struggle of being called to wait in the midst of circumstances around him that are painful, burdensome, and ungodly, especially knowing things will be getting worse, not better. We cannot let the suffering of our current circumstances quench our faith and let Satan rob our joy. Those who wait upon the […]

Many Christians can relate to the burden and struggle of Habakkuk. We see evil around us and things seem to be getting worse, not better, and might even feel that God is not listening to our prayers. In considering the problem of evil in this world, we must interpret events around us through the lens […]
