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

Welcome to Through the Bible, I'm Steve Schwartz, your host on this five-year journey through the

entire word of God.

And as the Bible bus stops by the 26th chapter of Isaiah,

our teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee,

begins our study with the song of the kingdom.

That's in verse 19.

So while you find your place in God's word,

Greg Harris and I have got a few letters

to share with you from our fellow listeners

in Eastern Europe.

Yeah, an important part of our ministry, post-communist, it's been a few decades, but there's still a lot of lingering

effect of communism and the negative effects it had on countries that we'll be praying for. If you're on our world prayer team

you will be getting stories and information and prayer requests on countries

this week like Belarus, Romania, Latvia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Yep, and like other parts of the world,

through the Bible plays an important role

both for believing Christians in this area

and helping them to grow in their maturity and understanding helping them to

unwind some goofy doctrine that has a way to fit itself into into any form of

Christianity when there's people and sinners around and those are usually occupying

the same body but that's another subject.
