Can it be that the ancient Book of Habakkuk is one of the most relevant books in the Bible for today? Don Smith reminds us how Christ calls His Church to be a beacon of light in the darkness, much like the prophet Habakkuk proclaimed centuries ago. We shine as His beacons as we cling to faith in Him and in His Word. Don says we can rejoice because the invisible hand of God is working for His good pleasure right now in 21st century history. These thoroughly outlined study notes are a companion to Don Smith’s audio series, “A Faith to Cling To.”

BLB introduces the 18th-century Scottish clergyman, Charles Inglis, who spent the majority of his life learning and teaching the Word of God. His study resource, Pegs for Preachers, has been widely utilized by ministry leaders and studious believers in all parts of the world. His work contains alphabetized lists of thousands of topics that are all linked to Scripture references, to assist you in the study of God’s Word.

We are very pleased that Thru the Bible ministry has given us permission to offer Dr. McGee’s text commentaries, Bible notes, and outlines for the entire New and Old Testaments. These all-inclusive guides are a wonderful companion to the inductive style of Bible study. This beloved Bible teacher and author from the Los Angeles area had a prolific radio ministry that is still being broadcast worldwide today.

We invite you to listen to the rich expository teaching and impassioned preaching of Pastor Hubbard. He intentionally teaches through each book of the Bible verse by verse, viewing every word as profitable. His sermons are sure to ignite deeper insights into God and His holy Word, as you examine the Scriptures together.

Verse of the Day

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. (John 15:18-20)
