We say it every worship service -- God is Good! All the Time! -- but sometimes injustice prevails. Habakkuk, in times of trouble and unanswered prayers, complains to God and receives his reply. A vision of hope will see you through, and the righteous live by faith in God's goodness. So even when things are still hard, we still exult God for "God, the Lord, is my strength."

Reading is long, excerpts from Genesis 6-9, and the preaching begins around the 5:30 mark.

More and more people are leaving behind the label "religious." Rev. Joe preaches on the importance of being both spiritual *and* religious.
