“It is one thing to sin in secret—that is bad enough—but it is even worse to bring your sin out in the open and flaunt it before the world.” That’s the advice we’ll hear from Dr. J. Vernon McGee in our continuing study of the book of Hosea. Witness the wickedness of the kings and leaders in Hosea’s day and compare their similarities to those today.

The only sure foundation we have in this changing world is our Lord Jesus Christ.

“A great many people think they can live the Christian life in their own strength, which always means defeat.” That’s the wisdom our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares as we study how Joshua’s army got the victory at Jericho because God was leading the charge. But in their next battle against the small city of Ai, they were defeated—because they thought they could handle it on their own.

In Hosea, chapter 2, we’ll learn that even though Israel will be disciplined, God is not through with them.

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.
