Make straight
”I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.” It’s a grand message. “Get ready for the coming of the Lord. The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” It was at hand in the person of the King, you see. And he says, “Make straight.” In other words, get the crooked things out of your life. And, friends, we’re not going to have fellowship with Him and not get very far with Him until we are willing to deal with the crooked things that are in our lives—the things that are wrong. And when we do that, then there is open for us fellowship.
Guest (Male): We call it the Bible bus. Get on or off anytime you want as we travel through the Bible.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGeewas 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. J. Vernon 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.
