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

Welcome to Through the Bible.

We got some amazing truth to cover today, including how to have peace with God, how to know God, how to escape the pollution of the world, and how to have everything we need for life and godliness.

Well, I'd say it's a pretty important list, wouldn't you? I'm your host Steve Schwetz, and we're going to begin joining Dr. J. Verna McGee in the book of

2nd Peter in just a moment as the Bible bus travels through the New Testament. And, you know,

we're so glad that you're making it a priority to study God's word with us. God's doing

amazing things through the proclamation of His Word, both here in North America and around the

world. In fact, before we jump into our study,

let's hear a few letters from fellow listeners who tell us what studying God's word together means to

them. First is a Facebook post from Barbara who shares this. Lately, I found myself more thirsty for

the word than I've ever been. I was raised in church with a family made up of pastors, teachers,

missionaries, and preachers. My mind was filled with the scriptures and stories of the Bible

for as far back as I can remember. Different circumstances that have presented themselves lately

have put me in a position of not simply desiring God's word, but more desperate for it than ever

before in my life.

God has been faithful to his promises in each and every circumstance, faithful to reveal

himself in the most undeniable ways, even in hopeless situations, through His Word and through

the answering of so many of my prayers right before my eyes in recent weeks and months.

I am beyond thankful for this resource and cannot begin to describe the benefit and blessing this

ministry has been in helping me to keep my soul constantly full and overflowing with the living

water of God's word. I listen to Dr. McGee through the app almost daily as I'm driving and working

and fall asleep many a night listening to his preaching. Thank you for making this resource
