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

You've likely heard the phrase, every man for himself.

And how about this one?

Do what you got to do to get to the top. But God's definition of success comes another way, a surprisingly different way.

Welcome to through the Bible today, we'll hear Dr. J. Vernon McGee's explanation of this great reversal as we study

one of the most magnificent passages about Jesus Christ and it's found in

Philippians too. I'm Steve Schweetz welcoming you aboard the Bible bus for another great adventure in God's word and while you find your seat

Let's welcome Greg Harris through the Bible's president who's here with a few great letters from our mailbag and we really do love your letters so much.

We do and it is such an honor that you share your story with us and we were talking about this

earlier this month but I want to challenge everybody listening to these

stories don't just hear them but think about is there anything in my life that my

brother or my sister in Christ is challenging me to I find some of these responses very challenging in a good way not a

guilt-inducing way but an inspirational way. So you want to start with this letter

from Bill? Yep. Bill and Virginia.

Thank you for the Bible bus passes.

I've handed out a few and keep them on hand reminding me to pray and share them anywhere

the Holy Spirit guides.

Admittedly, I'm seeing how my habits and ways have been too

self-focused and these cards and the World Prayer team is helping me to throw off

my old self and strive to live in and follow the spirit.

God is so good, patient and full of mercy and grace,

worthy of all praise.
