God’s ‘Woe’ and Our ‘Whoa!’

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: Minor ProphetsScripture: Habakkuk 2:2-20 “The world is bigger than my little box. I’m not going to be playing this game forever. So I can’t be expected to stay in this box. … It’s been billions of people on this earth. We really are small, if you look at it from a universe perspective. There’s a lot of stuff that we get distracted by, or we chasing, to make us feel a certain way.” Kevin Durant “Vainglory is the excessive and disordered desire for recognition and approval from others. Whether we are successful in gaining this approval or not, we all know what it is like to desire public acknowledgement and approval of our own person or our accomplishments. There is a deep part of us that longs to be known and approved of, and to have this acknowledged.” Rebecca DeYoung, Glittering Vices “I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong To crash the critic saying, ‘Is it right or is it wrong?’ If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear Being away from you? I found the vein, put it in here I live for the applause, applause, applause I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause” Lady Gaga, “Applause”The post God’s ‘Woe’ and Our ‘Whoa!’ first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
