Something New Under the Son

April 23, 2023

We read in Ecclesiastes that there is “no new thing under the sun.” Yet Paul said in 2 Corinthians that he who is in Christ is a “new creation.” How can these seemingly contradictory statements be reconciled? Well, one was made from the viewpoint of a man living under the S-U-N and the other from a man living under the S-O-N.

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

What makes prayer effective? Nehemiah, the businessman, gives us a practical model. Dr. J. Vernon McGee highlights Nehemiah's "Three S's"—solicitude, supplication, and submission—and how they can help us transform our own relationship with God.

The cornerstone of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ; without it there would be no reason to believe that Jesus could save us from anything. But many in post modernity are downplaying its value and importance.

There was a time when traveling preachers commonly put up a large tent or hung a banner on the side of a meeting place announcing a revival. In most cases the effects of their vigorous teaching produced only minimal lasting results. So this begs the question, “What is revival?”

Creative thought has been expressed and recorded on paper for centuries. Yet one book has stood the test of time and has been circulated and maintained by the common man—the Word of God.

With humility and candor, Dr. McGee takes us through a systematic study of one of the most well-known chapters in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13. Together we look at the preeminence, prerogatives, and permanence of God's love and discover that while we can’t keep God from loving us,  we can get into a place where we don't realize His love in our lives.

(1 Corinthians 3:11-15) Once the foundation of a building is set you can get a good sense of its general dimensions, but what you can’t tell by the foundation is the beauty of the materials chosen by the builder, which can only be displayed when the building is complete.

We are told over and over again that Christians should not judge, but what about the biblical standards of holiness, righteousness, and justice? How do we uphold these principles and yet not judge those who are living in sin?

The Jews are looking for a sign and the Greeks are seeking after wisdom, but to the Jews the cross is a stumbling block and to the Greeks it is foolishness. These are the traits of those who do not believe, but the elect are willing to believe in the “foolishness” of the gospel.

The Church of Corinth had three of the greatest Bible teachers come through their church, but instead of developing greater unity around the person of Christ it resulted in the division of the church. Paul in his letter confronts the church and points them back to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hezekiah, King of Judah, was facing the final days of his life, but God granted him his request for a longer life. But the consequence of Hezekiah’s extended life was that the people turned away from God, which proved to be the beginning of the end for the nation.

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.
