Habakkuk 1:12-2:5 Does God care about evil and suffering in the world? And if he does, why doesn’t he do something about it? These were questions that puzzled Habakkuk, and still puzzle Christians today. Thankfully God gave the prophet some answers.
Habakkuk 1:12-2:20 Why do the wicked prosper? Why does God allow it? Why doesn’t he do something about it? We struggle with the same questions Habakkuk did. The vision God gave him in response is what we need to keep going in obedient faith.
Luke 11:14-36 Why do so many works of fiction (everything from Lord of the Rings to Superhero films) revolve around the triumph of good over evil? Is it mere escapism, or do we long deep down to know how to find victory over evil?
