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

If you've traveled, you've likely noticed that no matter where you meet God's people in the world,

Today on through the Bible Dr. J. Vernon McGee's study takes us through Philippians

But speaking of traveling the world,

our world prayer team is traveling on our knees this week,

celebrating God's work in our lives.

from these listeners who've written to us recently.

A listener who hops aboard the Bible bus in his language of Mandarin shares this.

God's word is a wonderful remedy for man.

His word is our comfort in the midst of trials.

God's word is our companion in times of loneliness. God's word is food for the starved.
