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.

Ephesians #25

Ephesians #25

Old covenant practices cannot be imposed on the new (Mat 9:14-17). There's a radical difference between the body of Christ and "gentiles" (Eph 4:17-19): "futility of the mind", vacuum of soul, ignorance, licentiousness, and frantic search for happiness. We are in the school of Christ since understanding the gospel (Eph 4:20, Eph 1:13). The topic is the teacher; Christ is the teacher (Eph 4:21, Joh 14:6). School membership is exclusive (Mat 23:8). The instructor's teachings are absolutely authoritative (Joh 6:45, Joh 8:28). We have a personal mentor - the Holy Spirit (Joh 15:26, Joh 16:13-14, 1Jo 2:27). We have to give the Mentor permission (Col 3:16).
