How can you be a person of faith when your world is about to blow up? Habakkuk has the answer. Trace Habakkuk’s footsteps and learn from the prophet as He warns God’s people and then waits for answers in difficult circumstances.
“How can a holy God use a sinful nation to accomplish His purposes?” That’s the question the prophet Habakkuk struggles with in this section of God’s Word. Discover there is no sin in questioning God and also learn why God permitted evil in Habakkuk’s day and ours, too.
As Habakkuk’s complaints and questions continue, God answers on a grander scale than the prophet can imagine, and in ways that likely won’t please him. Watch the rise of Babylon as we learn more about the unfortunate consequences ahead if God’s people continue with their wicked ways.
“What are you doing about evil?” In our last study, God’s response to this question wasn’t what Habakkuk was hoping for. So, instead of giving up, the prophet asks Him new and bigger questions. How will God respond? Will Habakkuk be satisfied? What do the answers mean to us today?
“Why doesn’t God do something about evil?” That’s the question Habakkuk asks God in this poetic Old Testament book. Discover God’s answer as Israel’s burden unfolds and the prophet’s faith is deepened.
We don’t have to look beyond our own community to see the suffering in this world. But God sees it, too—and He is doing something about it. When we say God is sovereign, it means these issues are safe in His hands. That’s the message we learn from the prophet Nahum. As we study the sins and destruction of Nineveh, we’ll realize even now how God is moving against evil in our world today.
Is our nation like Assyria? In Nahum, chapter 3, we’ll examine the indicators like a deceitful government and news media, a false sense of security among people, and a growing interest in witchcraft and the occult. While the indicators may not be in our favor, Dr. McGee encourages us to intercede for our nation before the Father.
Trace it through history—people who turn their backs on God are eventually brought to their knees. As we follow the destruction of Assyria, we’ll learn how a once great and cruel nation was brought to judgment and simply wiped from the face of the earth. It’s a solemn lesson we would be wise to heed.
Correctly understanding and interpreting the Bible adds depth and beauty to our understanding—and to do it incorrectly leads to wrong assumptions and false doctrine. Learn more about the judgment of the Assyrians and the important connection between the books of Nahum and Jonah.
How can you refute those who say the Bible is full of errors? Nahum has the answers. Discover striking evidence that will boost our assurance that God’s Word can be trusted and help us understand how the book of Nahum holds a key to interpreting the entire Word of God.
Although the people of Nineveh ultimately repented and God did not destroy them as Jonah had warned, it’s now 100 years later. The people of Nineveh have forgotten the mercy of God and are back to their treacherous ways. How will Nahum handle them? Will he destroy their idols? Will they repent? Will God save and restore them? Will He save us when we sin?
Jonah’s message to Nineveh revealed the love of God, and Nahum’s message reveals his justice. As we learn that God is patient and slow to anger, we’ll also learn that when He punishes countries and evil doers, it’s really out of love.
When reading the Bible, a good rule to keep in mind is, “Not all of it is to us, but no matter where you turn in the Word of God, it is all for us.” That’s what we hear in the prophetic Old Testament book of Nahum. Nahum means “comfort.” While he prophesies judgment, it can also be a comfort to the enemies of the one being judged.
1In this conclusion to 3 John, we’re reminded of the importance of encouraging and supporting the work of those who preach the Word of God. Learn more about Demetrius, an itinerant preacher who carried the gospel throughout the Roman Empire and whom John calls a faithful, dependable brother and a man of God. We’ll also hear more of John’s praise for Gaius and be reminded that to be of God we are not to imitate evil, but only what is good—like these faithful men.
Who is Diotrephes? And, what can we learn from him? That’s what we’ll learn as the Apostle Paul introduces us to a man Dr. McGee calls “a rascal in the early church.” Travel back to the first century as we study Diotrephes’ malicious statements against the apostles, his refusal to entertain missionaries, and how he excommunicated those who did entertain missionaries.
In his letter to Gaius, John expresses his joy over believers who are sharing God’s Word and walking in truth. He also commends him on receiving and entertaining the true teachers of the Word. Learn more about how to identify true teachers and support those who give out the Word of God and walk in love.Hide
The Bible is a book of true stories from people’s lives throughout history. The Apostle John wrote the book of 3 John at the end of the first century—over fifty years after he had walked with Jesus. Meet three of the earliest followers of Christ as John gives us a snapshot of what life was like for those in the early church and how we too can grow in holiness, grace, and the knowledge of God as we walk and work in the truth.
The Apostle John’s favorite word was love. But not the sentimental, sloppy version of what we call “love.” John tells us about God’s love modeled by God’s people. In this study, learn about our need to abide in the doctrine of Christ so we can avoid false teachers. John warns us: If we entertain these deceivers, we are a partner in their deeds.
What is love? In this study, the Apostle John tells us true love is walking in God’s commandments, and warns us about the antichrist and others who want to distract and deceive us with liberalism and apostasy, driving a wedge between believers.
Our commitment to God’s truth is essential—and so is our commitment to walk in love. Learn important truth about salvation, justice, righteousness, and more from the beloved Apostle John. Together we’ll discover that walking in truth means walking in obedience to the commandments from the Father, including taking the gospel to the world He so deeply loves.

I don't see The Gospel of John?
wow!!! I am dealing with depression and loneliness at the moment , and this is exactly what I need ! I'm speechless.
I once heard a pastor say with a touch of humor that, if you're down, you should probably stay away from Lamentations and go instead to the Thessalonian books. And, in gaining insight from Dr. McGee into how right on God allowed the people in this Church to be, I can see why! They were super-young believers whose only real struggle was with an accurate understanding of how God would end the present age - other than that, they sound like they are really established in their Faith by God's Grace and Power. They are a serious encouragement to me and my fam in how to live for and in Christ in the midst of a less-than-ideal world. Good stuff, by Mr. J. Vernon McGee! Btw, that same pastor said that, when Christians actually read the book of Lamentations, they should do so only after finishing the Thessalonian epistles. 😆
This book, I admit, is my least favorite book. I'm sure there's some very good insight that Mr. McGee can offer.
Love my faithful servant of the Lord!!!!
