Romans 8

Habakkuk no 2. In his book we find Habakkuk not prophesying to the people but in a conversation with the LORD. I hope these talks help you to get more out of this little read book.

Next time something completely different: The beautiful attitudes.

Guest speaker Ps. Mark Ryan from Birmingham City Church brings the word this week.

Thank you for suggestions on subjects you would like to hear about. One such was on the shorter prophets. Habakkuk falls naturally into two parts so here with chapters 1 and 2. I found it hard to understand, explain and apply until I turned to the Contemporary English Version so the CEV is the translation I am reading from in this talk. I hope it helps you understand the book and get some good spiritual food out of it.

2 Colossians 4:6-18

• Take Heart because Christ lives in me

• We can take heart by being obedient to Gods call

• We can take heart as we decide to fix our focus

This week we have guest speaker Jason Heron from Elim Northampton.

I wish for you all a happy new year and thank you for listening.

The teasing title is Just ask PAT with the sub title How to get more from reading the Bible. If your reading of scripture is in the doldrums I hope this will help. What is not helpful discard. What is helpful activate.

As a reminder of why I send these talks out at all see 2 Peter 3 v 18; that says it all.

I apologise that there is so much rustling on this recording. Next time I promise to fidget less.

May the good Lord bless you all and build you up in your faith.
