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

We want to welcome you to another program of Through the Bible,

and on this special Christmas Day, we want to say Merry Christmas on behalf of our entire staff.

And I've got Greg Harris, Through the Bible's president, in the studio with me today so that we can just talk with you a little bit before the program.

And what a joy for Steve and I to share a Christmas greeting with you. No matter where you are,

no matter what's going on in your life, you're part of this amazing ministry that's getting

the message of Christmas and Easter out to the world. Yeah. And if you are a believer listening to

this program, you have the hope of salvation and an eternity with Christ,

knowing that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called

according to his purpose. What a wonderful verse that is. And if you are not a believer,

maybe you're alone this Christmas day and you're just listening to the radio or you're

listening on app or some other way and you're hearing us, I would encourage you to

take seriously the offer of salvation, and it all starts with the birth of Jesus Christ in terms

of him coming to Earth. That's right. And the greatest gift that we can receive on planet Earth

is the gift of salvation and eternal life and forgiveness in the Lord Jesus Christ. So thank you for that.

And out of that flows worship, and appropriately so, that's what Dr. McGee is going to be talking about in this program, is the significance of worship.

That's right, Steve.

And, you know, one of the perspectives we always like to bring our listeners is that TTB through the Bible is a global ministry.

And, you know, around the world, Christmas is often

considered a foreign holiday. And yet our partners in ministry and listeners, they use that as an

opportunity to witness and say, let me explain to you about this holiday about Christmas that I'm

celebrating. Yeah. So there are significant opportunities for our partners around the world.
