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

Welcome to Through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

I'm glad you're here with an open Bible and an open heart, making the study of God's word a priority. Good for you. Now, as you find your seat on the Bible bus, let's take a look at the road ahead. In our study through the book of Daniel, we're going to be traveling through important roads of prophecy, looking at things to come through the lens of history.

It's important to remember in this grand vision that the safety and strength of every believer

is not in world powers or world events, but in the person of our Savior Jesus Christ and the

we get energized by it. And I'll tell you, Steve, I think you and I have been doing this work

for a long time. And the thing that keeps us going is just the stories we hear from the United States,

Canada, and all over the world. And today we have just enough time for a great letter from one

of our friends who listens on the Bible Broadcasting Network. You want to get us started?

Yeah, this is from a gentleman by the name of Doug Lance in Gastonia, North Carolina.

And here's this story.

In 1985, I was as lost as a man could be.

I wasn't a good husband, father, brother, or friend to anyone.

One day I was drinking while driving down the road.
