The Unimportant Stuff

"Woe to him who piles up stolen goods, and makes himself wealthy by extortion. How long must this go on? Will not you debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim; Because you have plundered many nations, the people who are left, they will plunder you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain; to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin! You have plotted the ruin of many peoples. "
Habakkuk 2 : 6-10

I would like to see what might happen if church decided to preach on the minor prophets for a long series rather than Romans or other Pauline letters.
