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

Think before you speak.

Well, that's easier said than done, right?

Welcome to Through the Bible, where Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us that God purposely gave us two ears and one mouth.

I'm Steve Schwetz, and I'm glad that you're here for another great study in God's Word.

Let's pray.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the practical lessons that we're learning.

Help us to hear the message you have for each of us. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Turn in your Bibles to James Chapter 1 so we can listen to Dr. J. Vernon McGee on Through the Bible.

Now, friends, we're back here today at the 19th verse of the Pistler James, and I want to move now a little bit faster, maybe not much, but just a little bit faster.

And we've been going.

He says here, wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. Now, again, may I say,

this is a very important section that we have come to here. Wherefore, my beloved brethren,

let every man be swift to hear now that means and he's talking

now to a child of god swift to hear what with the word of god of course be swift to hear begotten by the

word of god which you're not through you're going to grow by the word of god and you've got a word

that's living quick and powerful sharper than any two-edged sword.

And the natural man out there, the unsaved man, he understandeth not the things of the Spirit of God.

Neither can he know them.

Their foolishness under Him.

Why?

They're spiritually discerned.
