Are you looking forward to the election? Do you dread having to watch or listen to another political add on your favorite source of media? Maybe you’ve sworn off Facebook until November 4th? This week we started a new Bible study on politics. In this first lesson we looked at the two kingdoms that the Christian lives in. The first is the church. It’s a great place to be!
“Git er done!” That was the cry from Haggai to God’s people as they lagged behind. Their reason wasn’t a good one. Putting their homes before God’s home isn’t following God’s plan. He asks to be number one in our lives. Listen as we see where the glory can be found in the temple of God.
Obadiah was a prophet who lived to see the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. What is interesting about the book is that the focus is the little nation of Edom.

Does God want us to complain? The prophet Habakkuk wrote in grievance down in his prophecy. We hear God’s answer, the prophet’s follow-up, and then God’s reply. Check out this dialogue between a troubled Old Testament Christian and the God who loves him. God’s promises are for you too! The righteous will live by faith.
