Home Essay Series Faith in Difficult Circumstances
The “Nevertheless” Passages: Faith Standing After Circumstances Have Spoken is a complete ten-essay KJV Bible study examining what genuine faith does when natural ability, visible evidence, human support, personal experience, and earthly security have failed. Through Abraham, Caleb, David, Habakkuk, Peter, Jesus Christ in Gethsemane, Jehoshaphat, the three Hebrews, Job, and Paul, the series shows that biblical faith neither denies unpleasant facts nor invents promises God never made. It distinguishes faith from positive thinking, emotional denial, religious presumption, and the false doctrine that God must always provide immediate deliverance. Readers will see how faith rests upon God’s revealed word, obeys before the outcome is visible, and trusts His power, wisdom, and timing. The studies also preserve necessary dispensational distinctions between Israel and the Church, national promises and spiritual application, salvation and discipleship, and free justification by grace versus faithfulness in Christian service. By the end of the series, readers will understand why circumstances may testify loudly but never possess the authority to overrule the word of God.
