Dr. J. Vernon McGee

Amos 4:10—5:5

April 17, 2020

As the prophet Amos continues to warn of God’s impending judgement, Bethel and Gilgal paid no attention and perish. Dr. McGee reminds us that, like Israel, we all must be prepared to meet God someday, and in His mercy, the invitation to forsake our idol worship and return to Him remains open.

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.

Turn from sin; judgment is coming! That’s the message the prophet Amos was sent to tell Israel. Amos’ message was anything but subtle, in fact he even used biting sarcasm, reminding people of the famine, droughts, locusts, and warfare that came before.

Amos was a man called by God to point out people’s sin. Tough job, right? Especially for an outsider, a country boy in a big city. But Amos didn’t falter; he faithfully foretold of the judgement and justice God has in store in Israel and all the nations surrounding her, beginning with Syria.

The story of Amos is that of a country preacher sent to the big city of his time with a message for the king and high society! Although Amos may have been naïve, he had a message from God and gave it fearlessly and faithfully. But will the people listen? And how will God respond?

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. 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.
