The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

Colossians Lesson 11

Colossians Lesson 11

Colossians Chapter 2 (Col 2:1-8) covers Paul's warfare; the tactics of the enemy (Satan) and debunks rationalism (Col 2:16); mysticism (Col 2:18); asceticism (Col 2:20); legalism (Col 2:21) and other philosophies (Col 2:8) of men. Col 2:1-7 covers the walk and warfare of the believer. Our supply for battle is in Col 2:3. Our strategy in combat is outlined in Col 2:5-6. Col 2:6-7 says that our walk is simply as we've received Christ -- by Grace through faith.

From Series: "Colossians - 2006"

Paul never met the Colossians but wrote to them from a Roman prison around 62 AD to counter misconceptions of his day. It magnifies the character of Jesus Christ more than any other book in the New Testament, and counters misconceptions of our day as well. The key verse may well be Col 1:18 "...that in all things, He might have preeminence."
