How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Welcome to Through the Bible. We're in the New Testament book of 1 Peter chapter 4 beginning at verse 12.

Our message from Dr. J. Vernon McGee is important, particularly for those who are suffering

or going through difficult times.

So climb aboard.

As the Bible bus takes off, you can find your seat, and while you do that, I want to share

a couple of letters from our fellow passengers. First, we hear from a listener in Roseville, California, named Vahey,

who writes this. I'm an immigrant to the USA from Beirut, Lebanon. I started listening to Dr. McGee

when I was in my 20s. My father gave me his tapes to listen to. I didn't enjoy them. I was going through a divorce, had a baby on my lap, and my ex was nowhere to be found.

These were hard times, but I kept on listening, and then I walked away for many years.

Fast forward, and now I have been listening to the Bible bus for 18 plus years.

I love the Bible bus.

I believe in my Lord Jesus Christ and nothing could shake

that ground rooted in his blood. Sadly, I lost my dad just before the pandemic of COVID. He had dementia.

He never recognized anyone around him nor remembered anyone, including his wife. They had been

married for 40 years. But he always sang hymns and prayed out loud in the

name of Jesus. One day sitting next to him, a couple of weeks before he passed away, I looked into his

eyes and asked him, Dad, how is heaven? He closed his eyes, raised his hands, and said, I'm standing by the

gate, waiting to open. When I enter the gates, I'm going to shout hallelujah he was there i know i felt his words deep in my bones

there is heaven there is jesus my dad did not forget him even with his dementia god bless the work that

your team does everywhere and for the bible bus please use this small donation to glorify his name till we

meet with our Lord well what a great encouragement that is thank you Vahey thanks for sharing your
