In every realm and every strata of society, the world is being shaken. Our homes, our social lives, our work lives, even in some churches ...  nothing seems solid. In times like these, the Bible is the only place to turn for help, comfort, and—most importantly—salvation.

Throughout time, some of the most wonderful stories have been about love. Whether fact or fiction, they capture our hearts and stir our souls. One of the greatest love stories is found in the Old Testament book of the Song of Solomon.

“Painted with bold strokes and bright colors,” that’s how Dr. J. Vernon McGee describes the often misaligned and misunderstood Old Testament book, Song of Solomon. Contrary to popular thought, this passionate love story is more than just an illustration of an ideal relationship between a man and woman. The greater message is its picture of the intimate bond between Jesus and each of us, when we know Him as our Savior.

Solomon’s youth was characterized by a fervent love for God and a faith untainted by the pollution of compromise. So he appeals to young people: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, ‘I have no pleasure in them.’”

(Ecclesiastes 3) The Industrial Revolution may have transformed the world, yet now we’re dependent upon these very machines, to the point that we feel we could never live without them! But where is God in all of this?

(Ecclesiastes 1) Looking for meaningful, happy lives, people today turn to seminars, retreats, and self-help books. When one system fails they go on to the next, believing that their persistence will lead them to the right formula. Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes did the same thing.

(Philippians 4:6, 7) Anxiety shines a spotlight for us on how much we need the Lord. That's what Dr. McGee reminds us of as we explore God's Word and discover His solution to the things that keep us up at night. Be willing to do this one thing and be ready to receive God's unexplainable peace.

(Philippians 3) What really happened on the Damascus Road? In the book of Acts Paul gives us the basic facts, but in Philippians 3 he bares his soul and tells us the full story about a mighty transformation. Hear his first-hand account of the revolution that took place in his life and heart as he came to saving faith in Jesus Christ.

(Philippians 1:21) Just as physical life begins with a birth, spiritual life begins with a birth.” That's the important truth we'll hear in this study of Philippians 1:21. Together we'll learn that real life begins when we come to Jesus Christ in faith and learn to trust Him. Then and only then are we born again.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
