Is the Bible true?

Is the Bible historically accurate?

Is the Bible scientifically compatible?

Is the Bible ethically acceptable?

Why do you believe the Bible is true?

The book of Habakkuk is a great reminder for those of us who are committed to the Scriptures, particularly those of us who are preachers or Bible study leaders or parents, to not only be committed to the Scriptures, but also be committed to prayer. It is wise for the church to choose leaders who lead from their knees. - Habakkuk 3:1-19

There is a great tendency in today's information age to assume that information is the same as wisdom. Habakkuk is a model for us. When he had a question, Habakkuk didn't go to Google, he went to God for answers. - Habakkuk 1:12 - 2:20

Habakkuk was an Old Testament prophet, and this book was written a long time ago, yet the Bible is still relevant to us today. Habakkuk asks the kind of questions you and I might ask: What about justice? - Habakkuk 1:1-11

Everyone has a need for encouragement. And while this passage shows us the path to encouragement, it also has some sobering predictions in it. But we can come away from this message with fresh, spiritual courage to live the life we're meant to live for Jesus.

When we hold on to life how it is, we may be missing out on something better. You may be in the situation where you think you have everything you could possibly want, so why do you need to follow Jesus with any kind of real commitment? There is so much more on offer, and Jesus speaks to it here.
