“It’s always too soon to quit.” That’s a good motto for us as we wrap up our study of Habakkuk.

You can side with Babylon & win in the short run, or you can take sides with God & win eternally. Whose side are you on? Team Jesus or Team Babylon?

It all comes down to 6 simple words: The just shall live by faith. That’s the message we preach—and the text that changed the world. And it all started with Habakkuk.

Habakkuk 1:2 “How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, ‘Violence!’ but you do not save?”

“These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect” (Hebrews 11:39-40).

Faith is wavering between belief & unbelief, doubt & assurance, hope & despair & finally, hesitantly, with your heart in your hands, acting on the belief part.

Chapel Message for 60th reunion of Concordia High School, Seward NE

2 Corinthians 4:7, “Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God & not from us.”

There is no pit so deep that the love of God is not deeper still. There is no sin so terrible that Jesus cannot forgive it. There is no stain on your soul that Jesus cannot wash away. But what if you don’t know very much? Take heart. Rahab knew very little & yet she was saved.
