| 0:00.0 | How firm a foundation, |
| 0:05.0 | Ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word. |
| 0:17.5 | Dr. J. Vernon and McGee often said that our faith is in the book, |
| 0:22.5 | the blood of Jesus, and the blessed hope of his soon return. In this study on Through the Bible, we're going to explore that |
| 0:26.8 | blessed hope in the most unlikely places. It's the Old Testament book of Amos is where we're |
| 0:31.6 | heading. I'm Steve Schwetz, holding open the doors of the Bible bus as you hop aboard, and in just |
| 0:36.7 | a moment we're going to begin Amos chapter chapter 5 beginning in verse 18. Now, you might be thinking that the highway that we're |
| 0:43.4 | traveling on through Amos has a lot of potholes in it. Well, if so, you're going to appreciate this |
| 0:48.1 | travel warning from Dr. McGee. I recognize that this is a little bumpy ride that we're going over right now. |
| 0:57.5 | That is, the highway is, Amos is not being easy on us at all. |

| 1:27.7 | Now, the liberal never tells that. And I believe that that type of philosophy pervades our entire |
| 1:35.1 | contemporary culture today, that our expression is, take it easy. Our expression is, have a good day. |
| 1:49.2 | Our expression today is, you should be happy as a Christian. |
| 1:59.6 | As you open your copy of God's Word, let's visit with a fellow listener who writes from this time behind bars in Beaumont, Texas. |
| 2:02.4 | His letter is a little longer than our usual one, |
| 2:08.0 | but I think you're going to enjoy it. Every night at 1 a.m., I listen to you on the radio. I haven't missed a program in three and a half years. I have a neighbor who is not a Christian, but who stays up at night |
| 2:13.4 | like I do to listen. He got interested in your study in the last few chapters of Daniel. |
| 2:18.5 | Because of our security status, we stay in solitary cells 23 hours a day and can't go to church |
