A seemingly small, perhaps even anti-climactic verse in the book of Habakkuk, is fleshed out in the life of Christ, and explained through three essential New Testament scriptures. The theological wealth and worship-inducing truth at stake in this passage leads us into humble confidence before the King of Kings. 

The apostle Paul had a long and complex relationship with the churches of Corinth and across Achaia. In 2 Corinthians, we find some of the deepest and most profound truth delivered to a recovering church still plagued with difficulty. We find a sweet and glorious hope and comfort, coupled with firm truth, for those tempted to think of their own church assemblies as too far gone.

With the church immersed in division, idolatry, and looking more like the world than the Savior that redeemed them, Paul reminds the Corinthian believers of who- and whose- they are in Christ.

Ruth is the glimmer of gospel hope in the period of the Judges. Ruth awakens its readers to hope amidst a hopeless time and faithfulness amidst a faithless era of Israelite history. The foreshadowing of the great gospel of grace is seen clearly in the coming of a kinsman-redeemer. The redemption of Ruth beams all the brighter when seen in the light of her inclusion into the genealogy of Christ.

What are the consequences of mankind "doing what is right in our own eyes?" Is truth subjective? The book of Judges places front and center the depravity of man and the patience of God with his wayward people. We also see, in seed form, the power of faith in the lives of some of the Bible's most unexpected characters.
