In his message, It Will Surely Come, Dr. Cleophus LaRue reflects on a passage from the Book of Habakkuk, which offers a word of encouragement for those who have grown impatient waiting on the promises of God. He says, "The dry and difficult seasons when we are forced to wait do not last forever. In their own way, they too are a part of the purposes of God."
Dr. Cleophus J. LaRue, Princeton Theological Seminary’s Francis Landey Patton Professor of Homiletics, received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Baylor University, his M.Div. and Ph.D. degrees from Princeton Seminary.
