The following is taken from Ravi’s youtube message titled, “Though The Fig Tree Does Not Bud – Stand Alone”
“If you go through the scriptures you will see some of the most passionate people who served with a very devoted heart had the toughest and the most emotionally driven questions. You know, faith is a perpetually defeated thing which survives all its conquerors. It will always be hammered. It will always be attacked, but the Bible will always rise up to outlive its pallbearers. Those who try to bury the Word find out it survives all those attacks.”
Ravi Zaharias quoting GK Chesterton
*******
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
Habakkuk 3:17-19
Amen!
God bless,
Mark
Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
