From the Habakkuk "Tablets” to the Internet

                   My brothers! One of the most central messages of the Scriptures, no doubt is; “The just one will live by faith” ( Hab 2:4/Rm 1:17/GI 3:1 l/Hb 10:38-39), it makes us remember Abraham who “believed and this was imputed to him for justice” Rm 4:3. It comes through the experience of all patriarchs, build on the prophetic message from Eliah to John Baptist, earns body and substantiation in the person of Jesus, and propagate itself toward the apostles.

                This message had cradled the gentiles' opening (we, the not jews) to the aliance in Christ, and it was made the slogan of the Luther's reform. In its explicit formulation it was given by God to the prophet Habakkuk in response to his still contemporary questions: why the bad ones aren't good? Why the the good aren't better? Why does the evil sometimes seam prosper more than the good? And the Lord's reply, likely that futurely given to the apostle Paul: “My grace is enough to you” 2nd Co. 12:19, it was; “the righteous will live by the faith”, meaning; believe you that God is at the control, and wait you to contemplate His achievements of justice.

                Such magnificent message, wouldn't must stay only with Habakkuk, but it would be transmited by one maybe revolucionary way of communication! Tablets written down in block letters on the edge of the roads, for that could be read, even by who had passed running! Hab 2:2.
 

                  This is still today the objective of God, and His commission to the Church:

to announce the faith that justifies the sinner and that gives him peace with God; the faith in Jesus Christ! (Rm 5:1-5). Using all available ways, new and old as long as effective! If we do that we will be believers, and  we will harvest the fruits the Lord will give us.

                 This in why, when complete 14 (fourteen) years, besides we harvest precious fruits (baptism, profissions of faith) we rejoice to announce that by another ministry given by God, to brother Octavio F.Lusvarghi (our Habakkuk, that is to say: webmaster...) our church proceed to transmit the same millenary message, also by the Internet way.
