| 0:00.0 | How firm of a foundation he says of the Lord, He is laid for your faith in His excellent Word." |
| 0:17.6 | The Alps of the New Testament, that's how scholars have described the New Testament book of Ephesians. |
| 0:23.1 | Welcome to Through the Bible, I'm Steve Schwetz, welcoming you aboard the Bible bus, |
| 0:27.1 | as we set off for a new and exciting journey through the high peaks of the Apostle Paul's letter |
| 0:32.3 | to the church at Ephesus. So as you grab your copy of God's Word and find your place, |
| 0:36.4 | here's Dr. McGee reading an article that he received many years ago. |
| 0:57.9 | Square? Another of the good old words has gone the way of love, modesty, and patriotism. |
| 1:07.5 | Something to be snickered over or outright laughed at. Why, it used to be that there was no higher |

| 2:21.6 | of the drugstore. He tells his son it's more important to play fair than to win. Imagine a square |
| 2:30.0 | is a guy who reads the scripture when nobody's listening. He wants to see America first in everything. |
| 2:39.2 | He believes in honoring mother and father and do unto others and that kind of stuff. So, |
