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

If you've ever been in an earthquake, then you know that they can be pretty frightening.

Welcome to Through the Bible.

I'm your host Steve Schwartz, and I was born and raised here in Southern California, and I felt an earthquake or two.

It's kind of disconcerting.

The ground shifts and the building sway, and there's this eerie, rumbling sound that often goes before you even feel it.

And I'm used to it, and yet still sometimes I'm a little spooked.

Well, in our study of Hebrews 12 and 13 on through the Bible,

we learn that someday God's voice will shake the earth,

and not only the earth, but the heavens as well.

And that'll be some earthquake, right?

Well, God has shaken the earth before to make a point, both on Mount Sinai, where he gave the law to Moses, and at Calvary, when Jesus died for the sins of the world.

I'm glad that you're aboard the Bible bus as we continue our study of the sixth danger signal in Hebrews.

That's the peril of denying.

Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, will also encourage

us about some things that are unshakable. One of those is a living faith in Jesus Christ.

He's the rock that we rest on. He cannot be shaken. Before we begin, let's hear from a fellow

Bible bus passenger, a few of them, in fact. First, we hear from Paulette in Maine,

and she writes this. I have been listening since my children were small, and I'm their only parent.

They are now grown, married, and with children of their own. All those years, Pastor McGee was

often the only adult I had available for biblical guidance. May there be many more years

of future blessings and encouragement for so many others listening. Well, thanks for your letter,
