SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR THIS SERMON:

Habakkuk 1:1-4

1:1 This is the oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw:

2 How long, Lord, must I cry for help?

But you do not listen!

I call out to you, “Violence!”

But you do not deliver!

3 Why do you force me to witness injustice?

Why do you put up with wrongdoing?

Destruction and violence confront me;

conflict is present and one must endure strife.

4 For this reason the law lacks power,

and justice is never carried out.

Indeed, the wicked intimidate the innocent.

For this reason justice is perverted.
