Inspired by the life and faith of the Old Testament prophet, Habakkuk, Thann Bennett's study poses the question - what would happen if we lived for God's fame instead of our own?

My Fame His Fame

We all carry a harsh judge inside ourselves, along with sense of entitlement: the belief that we deserve God’s blessing because of our good behavior. We must wage war against the judgment and contempt we are inclined to feel toward others.

Saint Augustine said, "It was pride that changed angels into devils; humility makes men as angels." The theme of these guided audio meditations is pride. Day one is affirming your dignity in Christ.
