6 The Downside of Democracy by Ron Matsen Throughout the history of man there have been two basic forms of public government: 1. Rule by the elite (monarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy) and 2. Rule by the people (democracy). The three basic forms of democracy are: 1. Direct democracy where the general public vote on every issue of law and governance, 2.

17 Living Like Lot by Ron Matsen The story of Lot is a tale of privilege, provision, and perversion. To begin with, Lot’s name means “covering,” as in a veil that hides the truth of what is inside. That should give you a hint as to the type of person we will find as we explore this enigmatic character. Perhaps there is a pattern to observe here that might give us some insight into those who seem to fall into the traps of the world...

DEAR FRIENDS

ear Friends, God is in the process of shaking those things that are built by man. His plans and purposes are laid out for us in His Word.

Therefore, make sure that you are standing on the things which cannot be shaken and will remain.

Remember, if you are in Christ, then your citizenship is in a kingdom not of this world. As ambassadors of Christ, we have been clearly instructed to fulfill our mission to proclaim Gospel to the whole world.

Feeling unqualified? God's calling is God's enabling. Feeling scared?

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.

Be Bold, be Brave, be Faithful, be at Peace!

THE DOWNSIDE OF DEMOCRACY

T

hroughout the history of man there have been two basic forms of public government: 1. Rule by the elite (monarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy) and 2. Rule by the people (democracy). The three basic forms of democracy are:

1. Direct democracy where the general public vote on every issue of law and governance, 2. Representative democracy (also known as Parliamentary democracy) where representatives are elected by the public and in turn vote on every issue of law and governance, and 3. Presidential democracy (also known as Authoritarian democracy) where an individual is elected by the public and in turn establishes every law and issues of governance.

The Doctrine of Democracy At the heart of the idea of democracy is the doctrine of popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty simply means that the majority of the voting public knows what is best for everyone else. But, as the saying goes, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch.” In other words, democracy is great as long as you share the same sentiment as the majority.

The Dream of Democracy Upon exiting the United States of America Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: “A republic, if you can keep it.” A republic simply means a form of government in which the country is considered a public matter. Therefore, the framers of the American system of federal government were elevating the role of public participation by implementing a representative form of democracy with checks and balances.

The founding fathers of this fledgling form of federal administration knew that allowing the general public to direct the creation of the laws that would govern them was a risky business. Therefore, they provided a set of foundational principles known as the Constitution that gave a framework for public lawmaking with the hope that this new experimental process would ultimately be governed by people who were themselves governed by Biblical absolutes. In reality, the process of democracy is only played out on the surface of society while the brute forces of dirty politics form the undercurrent that ultimately make laws and provide governance.

The Deception of Democracy Today it is very popular for various groups to vehemently express their views in an attempt to gain public acceptance and eventually be presented as the majority view. In some cases, a majority in volume can constitute a majority of opinion as the screams of the minority drown out their opposition.

We see that the expression of the “popular will” can create a cacophony of discordant voices, leaving many baffled about the true meaning of majority rule. In far too many places around the world today, the expression of the “popular will” is nothing more than the unleashing of personal passions that have little, if any, concern for the good of the whole society. It can even create and promote genocidal policies toward those without a voice in the democratic process. The sad end of democracy is anarchy where rival factions splinter the fabric of society in order to gain their own selfish means. Ultimately the democratic process turns into nothing but a horrible form of tyranny that is initiated and enforced by the majority.

The Media and Democracy In order for democracy to work, you must have a minimum of three key ingredients: 1. A willingness to do what is right; 2. A resignation to the final outcome of the democratic process; and 3. A wide public access to unbiased knowledge of the related facts and circumstances about which the democratic process is going to consider.

Sadly, today we live in a world filled with toxic news agencies who serve up their opinion as a replacement for information. Rather than informing the public they seem totally focused on shaping public opinion.

Consequently, the modern public is caught in a quagmire of fake news, doctored photos/videos, and conspiracy mania. In this world of information overload, sound bites replace sound logic and screaming slogans replace open dialogue and meaningful debate. In the midst of all this confusion people seem to be quite happy to make resolute decisions based on nothing more that a cartoon character representation of some very complicated issues.

The Darwinian effect on Democracy Recently there has emerged a third form of social government: 3. Rule by the individual.

Evolving from the parent thought of “popular will,” it is built on the foundational principles of personal sovereignty and personal truth. Although it spreads fastest in the futile soil of the anarchistic movement, it is finding root within mainstream society.

In this hostile world of violently competing agendas, common courtesy is trampled under the feet of contending opponents. This is where the creed of “survival of the fittest” is the guiding motivation that enables social Darwinism. Therefore, this type of Darwinian-style democracy paves a slippery slope for society to plunge ever downward. The Bible tells us that ultimately democracy (self-determination) is the agent of societal and personal destruction.1 The Disaster of Democracy On a placard outside of Auschwitz, George Santayana’s famous quote is a powerful reminder that “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

The Biblical narrative of the nation of Israel is a great place to start when it comes to gaining both a historic perspective and prophetic insight for the times in which we live.

The nation of Israel was founded on a new type of public government that was based on the Law of God. This allowed each person to rule their own life according to one divine standard. The unifying fact was not the people, but the laws God had given them to follow. The Book of Joshua closes with this final exhortation, “Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

Joshua 24:14,15

The chapter then closes by stating, “And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.”

Joshua 24:31

Unfortunately, without the guiding hands of these godly leaders the nation of Israel soon drifted away and became like the nations around them.

“And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:” Judges 2:10,11

Basically, Israel ignored the God who had rescued them from bondage in Egypt and became servants themselves of the gods of the Canaanites.

As you review the Book of Judges you are constantly struck with the images of people who are so bent on following after their own desires that they repeatedly find themselves ensnared by their appetites and subsequently enslaved by their enemies. By chapter 17 we are told, “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”2 Thus, for the remainder of the Book of Judges you read of the increasing depravity of a nation that has no room for the counsel or correction of God. Here, I believe, we have a perfect picture of the disaster of democracy when the people have lost their moral compass.

A Prophetic Parallel We now live in an age when universally it can be said, without fear of contradiction, that there “arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD (The God of the Bible)” and “every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Therefore, we now see the distress, disease, demise and destruction of modern society that was promised by God for Israel IF they were not faithful to follow His commandments.3 But let’s be fair; rebellion against God is an endemic problem that has existed throughout the history of mankind. Before the first global judgement by God, the condition of the world at that time sounds a lot like it could be describing today.

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”

Genesis 6:11-13

Jesus gave us an important end-times prophetic insight when He said, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the 2 Judges 17:6 3 Leviticus 26 VOLUME 30 | ISSUE 11 |

Son of man.”4 Jesus goes on to say, “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

Luke 18:7,8

Clearly Jesus was predicting a predominantly corrupt world that would be hostile to the Gospel. Sounds like today, doesn’t it?

The Action Plan for the Church If we track back to the seminal moment of the nation of Israel and their subsequent decent into their destructive behavior, we can see an important preceding influence.

“And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.”

Joshua 24:31

These early elders of Israel were a constant source of instruction and correction which served to guide the people into the ways of God’s will.

Simply put, the heart of man’s problem is in the heart of man. If man’s heart is turned toward God then righteousness reigns, but if man’s heart turns away from God then the wages of sin are paid in full.5 To counterbalance a world gone mad, Jesus told His disciples, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

Matthew 5:13

Jesus went on to say, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but 4 Luke 17:26 5 Romans 6:23

on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:14

The prevention of putrefaction is purification. Darkness cannot survive where light exists. Providing these purifying influences should be the primary function of the Church today.

The first-century followers of Jesus faced a predominately hedonistic society which was not too dissimilar to what we see today. Confronted by many different pagan cultures, Greek philosophies, political corruption, and Roman excess, the early church was focused on its prime objective which was to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”6 The early church did not form an army, promote a political party, or in any way dilute their efforts to fully carry out their great commission. If you want to see change in the world around you, start with Good News that goes straight to the heart.

An Apostolic Epilog At the end of the apostle Paul’s life, he was in prison where he was surrounded with the reality of his own impending death. Injustice, social chaos, and political corruption were everywhere. Yet in the midst of these terrible times he penned his last letter to Timothy in which he states, “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”

Chuck Missler had the opportunity to sit down with Barry Setterfield and discuss Zero Point Energy (ZPE).

Barry Setterfield is a Young Earth creationist best known for promoting c-decay, the proposition that the speed of light was faster in the past and has been degrading ever since.

He argues that the decreasing speed of light, along with 4 other quantities, point to a young earth: specifically, the fundamental physical constant 'c' — the speed of light in a vacuum — has decreased by several orders of magnitude and that Planck's constant 'h' has similarly changed, such that 'c h' is a true constant.

There continue to be many questions concerning the "Rapture" of the Church and its apparent contrast with the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. Where does this strange view come from? Is the term "rapture" even in the Bible?

Amir Tsarfati discusses how, for centuries, Israel has celebrated The Feasts as they were instructed by God. To this day, in a predominately secular society, they celebrate "religiously" what they don't fully understand.

LIVING LIKE LOT

he story of Lot is a tale of privilege, provision, and perversion. To begin with, Lot’s name means “covering,” as in a veil that hides the truth of what is inside. That should give you a hint as to the type of person we will find as we explore this enigmatic character. Perhaps there is a pattern to observe here that might give us some insight into those who seem to fall into the traps of the world.

Provision by Association

Lot first appears in the Biblical narrative as the nephew of Abram.1 After the death of his father Haran, Lot is taken by his grandfather Terah and Uncle Abram.2 When Abram is 75 years old, he takes Lot and leaves the region of his father.3 Lot no doubt was aware of the divine visitation of Abram that took place at Bethel where God promises, “To your descendants I will give this land.”4 During a time of famine in the land of Canaan, Lot witnessed the provision of God while they were all taking shelter in Egypt.5 His life was saved because of his association with Abram. Egypt is where both Abram and Lot become rich with “livestock, in silver and in gold.”6 So, Lot’s wealth also came through his association with Abram. After traveling back to Bethel, where Abram had received the promise of God and built an altar consecrating this place, this newfound wealth soon became a problem between Abram and Lot. 1 Genesis 11:27 2 Genesis 11:31 3 Genesis 12:4,5 4 Genesis 12:7 5 Genesis 12:10-20 6 Genesis 13:2,5 VOLUME 30 | ISSUE 11 |

“Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.”

Genesis 13:6,7

Abram, wanting to look after his nephew, tells Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. “Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”

Genesis 13:8,9

Prosperity over Purity We are then told that “Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.”

Genesis13:10,11

Here is where we begin to see the real selfish nature of Lot coming out instead of having faith that God would provide, just as He already had.

Lot was even willing to overstep his elder relative to pursue that which was best for himself alone.

While Abram was content to dwell in the land of Canaan, “Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.”

Genesis 13:12

Sometime after relocating near the city of Sodom, Lot gets caught up in a war between four kings from the East and the kings of Sodom, 18

COVER • CONTENTS • ORDER

NOVEMBER 2020 | Personal UPDATE

Gomorrah, Admah, and Zoar.7 “They also took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.”8 Stripped of his possessions, Lot now finds himself a prisoner being carried back with the conquering kings no doubt to be their slave.

When Abram hears of Lot’s plight, he gathers 318 trained servants and mounts a successful rescue of not only Lot but also the king of Sodom.

“So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.”9 When the king of Sodom tries to reward Abram for his daring rescue, “Abram said to the king of Sodom, ‘I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’-- except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”

Genesis 14:22-24

Here we see the stark contrast between Abram and Lot most clearly. Lot pitched his tents near Sodom, hoping to get richer, but Abram sets his hope on God’s provision alone. Later, in Genesis Chapter 17, Abram and Sarai have their names changed by God to Abraham and Sarah.

Permitting Perversion In Genesis Chapter 18, the LORD appeared to Abraham and gave him two messages: 1. Sarah would conceive and have a son.

2. God was going to judge Sodom and Gomorrah “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

Two angels are sent to carry out this investigation, and they meet up with Lot. “Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.”

Genesis 19:1

It is interesting to note that Lot has moved his habitation from the outside of the city to the inside of Sodom. It is also important to point out that he is “sitting in the gate of Sodom.” Sitting in the gate of a city was considered a place of honor. This is a place where the town’s people would bring their questions and disputes before the elders of the city.

Therefore, I think it is safe to assume that Lot had risen in political stature within the city of Sodom. Sadly, Lot is following the pathway of selfdestruction. The Psalmist tells us, “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.”10 Sitting in the seat of the Judges in Sodom was certainly not a place that would be “blessed by God.” By this time, Lot would have been seeing the worst side of human depravity. God’s judgment was coming because “Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

Jude 7

Here is where we may see the price of his political compromise.

Compromise that is brought about through submission to the public consensus over your own private conscience. Lot sat at the gate, but it appears he was getting along instead of speaking up about the abominations in the cities. He was, in effect, permitting those perversions to continue unchallenged. Peter’s second epistle gives us some insight into the personal conflict Lot faced while dwelling in Sodom. We are told, “for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless 10 Psalm 1:1

deeds.”11 The closer you get to public power, the further away you may be from personal purity.

Promoting Perversion It is at this low point in the life of Lot that God sends two angels to rescue him and his family. Lot opens his home to them and puts on a feast. Then all hell breaks loose.

“Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.’”

Genesis 19:4,5

Faced with the real possibility that these militant men could force their way upon his visitors, Lot attempts to use his power of persuasion to protect his guests from being sexually molested. Lot said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

Genesis 19:7,8

What sort of desperate man offers his virgin daughters to an angry crowd of perverted men? To me, this has to be the lowest point of Lot’s life. In my opinion, his self-centered choices have led him to a point of complete moral depravity. At this stage in his life he had no bargaining power with these people so is being swept away with the overwhelming tide of wickedness. He literally promotes a perverted crime against his own daughters.

From Rescue to Reversion As Lot is pulled back into his house by his two guests, the assailants from the city are struck with blindness so that they finally give up their 11 2 Peter 2:8 VOLUME 30 | ISSUE 11 |

quest to violate Lot’s visitors.12 “Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city--take [them] out of this place! For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”

Genesis 19:12,13

Lot is ungently encouraged to take his family and “Get up and get out of this place.”13 Even with all that had happened that night, Lot was still reluctant to leave all behind.

“And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” Then Lot said to them, “Please, no, my lords!”

Genesis 19:16-18

Ever the negotiator, Lot pleads with the angels not to make him flee to the mountains but to simply escape to the nearby city of Zoar. Remember, Zoar was one of the cities that was previously allied with Sodom and Gomorrah. Therefore, we see that Lot is still looking for a way to preserve something of his past life and prosperity.

Once Lot and his family were clear of the danger, “Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens.

Following this horrific event, “Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.”

Genesis 19:30

The rescue of Lot does not lead him to a place of repentance—he reverts to his old ways, instead. As the Proverbs states, “As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.”14 It is here where the tale of Lot takes a horrible turn. His two daughters contrive a plot whereby they will each have sex with their father so that they might have an offspring.15 The result of this incest is the birth of two sons. To the eldest daughter was born Moab (meaning “of his father”). To the youngest daughter was born Ben-Ammi (meaning “son of my people”). The generations that follow from these sons will later be a snare for the Children of Israel.

Divine Restoration When you consider the legacy of Lot, you can easily see that his appetite for prosperity made him blind to the pitfalls of his own selfishness.

Lot knew God, but he chose to live among people who would lead his family into sin and complacency. By now, God was stripping him of all his worldly possessions. In summary, he could not retain that which God did not sustain.

When you examine the lineage of Lot, you see that during the return of the Children of Israel to the promised land that Balak, king of Moab, tries to hinder their journey. He ultimately ends up hiring Balaam, the prophet, to curse Israel.16 Balaam refuses and blesses them instead.

Frustrated by the deeds of Balaam, Balak sends the women of Moab into the camp of Israel in an attempt to seduce them. This ends badly for the Israelites as 24,000 die in the ensuing judgment by God.17 Subsequently, Israel was given a restriction concerning the people of Moab.

“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his [descendants] shall enter the assembly of the LORD forever, because they did not meet you with bread and water on the road when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.”

Deuteronomy 23:3,4

At this point in the history of Lot, you would think that God has run out of grace for this wayward nephew of Abraham. Yet, when you read the Book of Ruth, you will see that Ruth, being a Moabitess, becomes not only the servant that reconnects her mother-in-law Naomi to her land, but she becomes a “type” of the Gentile Church. Because of the “Kinsman Redeemer” Boaz, Lot’s linage is rescued and reunited with that of Abraham. Boaz and Ruth have a son named Obed (meaning “serving”) who becomes the father of Jesse (meaning “I possess”) who becomes the father of David (meaning “beloved”) the king of Israel and the line through which the Messiah would come. God’s “mercy endures forever”.18 Lessons from the Life of Lot There are three principal lessons we need to remember concerning Lot: 1. Lot followed a pathway prosperity over purity. Proverbs 15:16 tell us, “Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.”

Contentment is the key. 1 Timothy 6:6,7 “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”

Therefore, our attitude toward our daily provision needs to focus on God’s provision as being sufficient. Philippians 4:11-13 assures us, 18 Psalm 136

“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

2. Lot permitted and eventually promoted perversion in his life and then in the life of his family. We can walk a straight path if we use the Word of God as our moral compass and rudder.

Psalm 19:35-37 “Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness.

Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things and revive me in Your way.”

3. Lot’s rescue should have led him to repentance not reversion.

Our salvation from the debt of our sins should create a satisfied soul within us that is constantly seeking the word and will of our Saviour. James 1:12-15 promises, “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.”

FREECOMMENTARY Romans: A Comprehensive Commentary

by Ron Matsen

Video Download: Free

Available from store.khouse.org

Romans is the definitive statement of Christian doctrine - the most comprehensive book in the New Testament. Its impact on history is unequalled. The Book of Romans is the first in a trilogy (Romans, Galatians, Hebrews) on Habakkuk 2:4, "the just shall live by faith." No other book of the New Testament has been as read and examined, discussed and dissected, or is the source of both blessing and confusion than this book. Some scholars suggest that it is the definitive Gospel according to Paul. It is the most comprehensive book in the New Testament.

This study contains 20 Sessions of verse by verse teachings

by Ron Matsen.
