Habakkuk 2:1-20 The Providence of Almighty God
Habakkuk positions himself to hear “A Word from God.” What we learn is God is in complete control of the movement of nations, and everything He does is Just. Better to be His friend than His foe.
1 Corinthians 5:1-13 Immorality in the Church
Mercy! That church in Corinth had problems. Reminds me of some stories of churches I read about in America today. How does Paul instruct the church to deal with sexual immorality? Not like we hear across our land. Tune in, if you have the courage.
Mark 13:14-31 Abomination of Desolation (2)
In one of our Lord’s longest discourses, The Olivet Discourse, the things Jesus didn’t say seem to get more attention than what He did say from Bible Scholars. Perhaps we can separate fact from fiction as we look at these scriptures again.
1 Corinthians 4:6-21 Against Arrogance
Paul finishes this discourse on the divisions in the church by ascribing the divisions to arrogance. He demonstrates that any wisdom men may have is derived from God, it is not due to their innate ability, nor is it particular to them.
Habakkuk 1:1-17 Sorry I Asked
The Prophet Habakkuk asks God a few questions regarding the evil of nations and what is God’s relationship to this. Sometimes it is just better to remain ignorant.

Continuing his instructions regarding divisions in the church, Paul talks about the proper role of ministers and how the church should view them.
