The prophet Habakkuk is struggling with the sin of his people and the inactivity of his God. What should we do when God does not answer our prayer? How can we feel His presence and enjoy His sovereignty when He is quiet?

Paul wraps up the letter to the Galatians challenging them to live by the grace of God rather than by our own works.

What do you boast about?

What good are you doing for the kingdom?

How do we help each other overcome sin?

When we follow the Spirit, He transforms our character into Christlike love and nobleness.

Why do some many of us try to vanquish sin in our our strength? God is ready to win if we would only trust Him.

Paul now turns to the Christian life with this discussion of flesh and Spirit. We are clearly not saved by our effort. But how about maturity of faith? We grow in faith by yielding to the wisdom and direction of the Holy Spirit.

When you live by rules, you are always trying to look better than others.

When you live by the grace of God, you depend on Him rather than on self.
