ALT text: Black background graphic featuring a scanned title page from an 18th-century sermon book on the left and a quotation on the right. The book page is aged and yellowed, titled “The Choice: A Discourse… on Drought and War” by Samuel Macclintock. Below it appears the name Samuel Macclintock (1732–1804). The quote reflects on judging humanity by how people treat one another, contrasting devotion to Moloch with belief in an infinitely benevolent God who wills unity among his children.

Samuel McClintock, a #Congregationalist chaplain at Bunker Hill, surveys drought and war and dryly notes that, judging by how people treat one another, you’d think they served Moloch, not an infinitely benevolent God who wills unity.

How might anyone tell whom you worship?

Where Is God (2025), Week 6: Assured Peace, Habakkuk 3:17-19, Sunday, Sept 21, 2025 A solid trust in God can quiet storms.  We will still have them. They will still knock us about. However, they can also drive us deeper into the safest place on earth, our awareness of the sovereign, loving and vigilant presence of God among us.

Where Is God (2025), Week 4: Inspired Patience, Habakkuk 2:1-4, Sunday, Sept 7, 2025 God responds to evil in ways we don’t always understand.  Does this mean He is not responding at all? Maybe the way He responds to evil should inspire our response to the broken world around us.

Where Is God (2025), Week 3: Inscrutable Methods, Habakkuk 1:12-13, Sunday, August 31, 2025 Thinkers for thousands of years have asked why God allows evil people to prosper.  Habakkuk adds his complaint to this list.  What does this inspired complaint tell us about ourselves, our world and our God?

Where Is God (2025), Week 2: Challenging Answers, Habakkuk 1:5-11, Sunday, August 24, 2025 Lawyers are told never to ask a witness a question publically, if they do not already know the answer.  Habakkuk did not follow that advice.  God gives an answer that changed the prophet’s world view.  What does this response teach us about our own world view?

Where Is God (2025), Week 1: Good Questions, Habakkuk 1:1-4, Sunday, August 17, 2025 The prophet, Habakkuk, was a good man who had some serious questions about his good God, who, at the moment, did not seem very good.  Do such questions help us? Do they matter to God?
