Take off the masks
“Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?” Now he stands there as just plain, little, old Nicky. He now is asking the question, “How can these things be?” Now our Lord’s going to talk to him very plainly. And, by the way, you and I can put up our masks before each other. And there’s so many people that today use them. They are with a certain crowd, they act a certain way. But the masks today, friends, hides just how we really are. Now when you come to the Lord Jesus, you have to take off all your masks. You can’t use them there, you have to be the real you. You have to come just as you are. Then the Lord will deal with you that way.

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.
