Leviticus 27

December 23, 2021

Our last stop in Leviticus teaches the importance of voluntary devotion to God. In verse 28, we learn that “every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.” In other words, when you make a promise to God, He regards it as holy. He loves you that much. We end our study of this book full of laws with this uplifting, revitalizing promise: God’s grace is enough.

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.

Did you know that, if you’re saved, you’re considered a priest? In Israel, the high priest was the only one with access to the Holy of Holies.

Imagine if we loved and protected everyone in our lives as much as we loved and protected ourselves. In Leviticus 19, God goes into great depth regarding how His people are supposed to interact with each other.

Because of their Egyptian background, idolatry was what the people of Israel knew. They were used to sacrificing the meats they ate to pagan gods. So God put up boundaries to protect them from slipping back into idolatry. In other words—He wanted to be the only God that they dined with. Likewise, today, God wants to be the only One you worship and invite into your life.

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.
