No one denies that we live in a wicked world. Perhaps even more than in first-century Corinth. So how can God’s people live above that wickedness? Only by the power of the Spirit.

Stories of people who have “gone to heaven” and returned always stir our curiosity. It’s hard to know what to believe. But in 2 Corinthians 12, the apostle Paul described what he saw when he was taken to the “third heaven” where sits the throne of God. He talks about this experience reluctantly—and with words like “inexpressible.” Find out what he saw and how that changes life here today.

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.
