Liberty versus legalism.

That's what Dr. J. Vernon McGee is talking about today on through the Bible.

I'm your host Steve Schwetz and I'm so excited for you to hop aboard the Bible bus

as we set off for Galatians chapter 5.

And while you find your seat and open your copy of God's Word,

here's a couple of letters from listeners of our Tagalog studies in the Philippines.

First is a text from a pastor who writes,

I want to ask for your notes and outlines.

I will use them for the Bible studies in my church.

I'm struggling because I have no formal schooling in ministry or the Bible,

but I want to be used by God and have found your programs very helpful.

We don't have a church building yet, so we meet in a member's home.

I am blessed by your program.

This is the first time that I have heard it.

I plan to listen every day before I start my work on the farm.
