Should Christians be involved in politics? This is just one of the important topics our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, talks about as he wraps up the story of Edom’s judgement with good news for us all.

Edom certainly was prideful!  But even though Edom ceased to exist long ago, its message for us today is certainly clear. In this study, Dr. J. Vernon McGee warns us about the pride that can creep into our society, our churches, our homes, and of course within ourselves.

What are the dangers of pride and godless living? Edom is a terrific example. Find out how God reacts when men try to overthrow God and become deity themselves.

When Esau despised his birthright, he declared he didn’t care about God at all.  Some 1200 years later, when his descendants had become a great people, they followed in his steps—declaring their ability to live without God, thinking they were perfectly secure without Him. Find out how God deals with this type of arrogance in the very unusual prophecy of Obadiah.

“A small book that packs a big punch.” That’s how Dr. J. Vernon McGee describes Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament. In this first study, we’ll learn more about the prophet and the important message he had for Edom.

“You can’t keep God from loving you, but you can put up an umbrella of indifference and sin and rebellion. Then you won’t experience it, but He still loves you.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has to say about the great news that there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God. Hear more in this conclusion to our study of Second Peter.

“Our time left on earth is limited” is the important message our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, has for us in this study of the world that was, the world that is, and ultimately the world that will be after God’s judgement.

Ominous. That’s the word that sums up this study. Dr. J. Vernon McGee gives us a front row seat to what he calls a very frightful apostasy that is coming in the world today, an apostasy in which men and women will turn away from the Word of God and become like animals.
May 14, 2020
Can people really change? That’s the tough question Dr. J. Vernon McGee asks in this lesson. The apostle explains it is better for someone to not have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to then turn from the gospel.

There’s never been a shortage of people who want to make a buck off of spiritual things. Discover where that dangerous path leads as we return to the Old Testament story of Balaam in the book of Numbers.  Like every other religious racketeer, Balaam loved money and he would do anything to get it. Join us for more insight from the Word of God on how to navigate life and avoid the pitfalls of corruption.

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.
