Exit Church Teachings

After having an encounter with God, Habakkuk experiences a major shift in the posture of his heart. Often times, an encounter with God and the resulting change in perspective is the right medicine for a bitter heart. Habakkuk's circumstances are not going to improve, in fact they are about to get worse, yet he leaves his encounter with God singing with joy.

Judgment is coming for Babylon, along with all people in all times and places.

In the first chapter of this new book (for Exit) Habakkuk cries out in desperation and frustration to the Lord that his own people are acting unjustly with seemlingly no consequences. How do we respond when the Lord seems to be silent in our pain and suffering? How can we trust that the Lord is still good and all powerful when he's silent in our suffering?

Forrest Brown takes us through two sections of Psalm 119 to show us all over again that our proper response to the word of God is to be people of Hope even in the face of opposition, people who have the words of God in our mouths, people who live out His words, and people who delight in them.
