Habakkuk 2:4 Part 2–The Cure and the Hope
Okay so the introductory material is going to take a lot longer than I anticipated. Here’s the reason why: there is a lot of good stuff in there to just pass up. I really love Habakkuk, my favorite minor prophet. I love the dialogue format of the book and I love some of the themes developed there. I love Habakkuk 3
, especially Habakkuk 3:17-19. That chapter, and its concluding verses, are just amazing poetry to me. i love it. Anyways back to the series at hand. We just covered the opening complaint or prayer. Now we turn to God’s response and something we as Christians can take away, as we work towards our target of Habakkuk 2:4. Read more

Habakkuk 2:4 Part 1
This post series on Habakkuk 2:4 began with listening to Charles Dennison’s sermons on Habakkuk. Then after going back and reading James Montgomery Boice’s commentary on the prophet, I wanted address issues found in his commentary. Specifically, I wanted to see how the NT used Hab. 2:4 in the three places it appears, namely Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11-14; Hebrews 10:32-39. But having heard about one-third of Dennison’s sermons, I felt there is way too much to the verse and to the book of Habakkuk to just only spend one post on Habakkuk 2:4; one on Romans 1:16-17; one on Galatians 3:11-14; and one on Hebrews 10:32-39. That just seemed to not focus enough on Habakkuk and how to understand Habakkuk 2:4. So I’m expanding it out and focusing quite a bit more on the OT text first before heading to the NT. This is going to expand to may be six posts, or as litle as five. I’m just not sure. So bear with me and I hope the Lord blesses you with these thoughts. Read more
