How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

How often do you complain about our government?

How do you pray for our nation's leadership?

Timely but tough questions, right?

Well, in First Timothy, Paul commands us to pray regularly for our leaders, regardless of their

politics.

Do you know why?

Welcome to Through the Bible.

In this study, Dr. McGee shows Paul's reason for praying for our leaders is ultimately

so the gospel can spread.

Does that make sense to you?

Well, if it doesn't't Dr. McGee explains in

more detail in just a minute. And just like Paul, that's our main desire

here through the Bible too, praying for God's word to spread. In fact we got a team of committed listeners who are

praying today that God's whole word will reach the whole world. Are you on that

special team? We call it our world prayer team and it's really easy to sign up if

you're not yet on it. Just visit

TTB.org forward slash pray for more on how to travel with us on our knees of

course praying for one country at a time. All we ever ask our world prayer team to do is pray together.

There's no other gimmicks or ways to get donations,

none of that.

All we want is to pray.
