    I found it interesting that McGee pointed out that our Security of Salvation is objective, but our Assurance of Salvation is subjective and can be tarnished by living in sin almost to the point that we doubt or even forget our salvation altogether!What principle or idea stood out for you from this study?

    . I loved this quote from todays Sunday Sermon,“This  book is the only power in this world to lift you above it. . . .This book will protect you in the days of apostasy.”I need it every day, don’t you?!

    Knowing God occupies center stage on 2 Peter 1:1-4Studying the Bible daily, like we do with TTB and seeking Him is the best way to find Him and get to “Know Him.” That’s my Takeaway Today, what was yours?

    Good morning, fellow Bible Bus Riders!Did you enjoy this last study in Amos? It certainly had a sense of finality, didn’t it? The aspect of this prophecy that fascinates me is how tightly bound up the Jews are by God with their land. If they are under God’s blessing, so is their land and vice…

    “Resurrection Power” titles today’s Sunday Sermon. It is  a logical follow-up to Easter last week and the central belief and base of Christianity as we know itDo you believe it “in the abstract, or in the concrete?” Resurrection Powerhttps://teachings-cdn.thruthebible.io/b9994f29-f15c-4858-b1a6-56156dbc4a04

    Reading this passage clarifies One thing for me. God uses troubles and difficulties in our lives in an effort to “reel us in” (notice my fishing analogy 😆)or bring us back to Him! Did you God take credit for their troubles along with the stated purpose for them?Repentance and returning to follow God should be…

    Amos 3:2 KJV[2] You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. This verse was obviously directed at the Israelites.Do you believe that our country will receive a similar punishment for similar behavior of turning away from God?

    The Country Preacher Who Came to Town https://teachings-cdn.thruthebible.io/3652e5af-a8a7-4010-8f9e-ac1c25ccc8da I get the feeling McGee is partial to Amos as he came from a country background as well. “Amos preached against sins and McGee is familiar to how preachers of this sort are treated!

    At first, I was confused.  The jumping ahead to introduce  Amos to us through his conversation with Amaziah in chapter 7 was a novel approach for McGee!  Did you notice how McGee  put himself up alongside Amos as an illustration of being called by God? My prayer today is for a similar clarity of purpose…

    When I hear stories of folks suffering for Christ, it makes me wonder/worry how I would react, so much so, that I’ve pleaded with Him to give me strength to endure if it ever DOES come up!If serving God became a punishable offense, I DO pray there would be enough evidence for me to be…

    1 Peter 4:1 KJV [1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased (or been released)** from sin; https://bible.com/bible/1/1pe.4.1.KJV McGee clarifies that “ceased” here means God uses suffering to loosen the control sin has over…

      Just as Jesus is «The Corner Stone,” we are “living” stones that  offer spiritual sacrifices of service, obedience,  and praise.     My Takeaway Today is that we are to be LIVING GROWING, ACTIVE stones. The goal isn’t to be a stone, the goal is to offer up ourselves as living sacrifices!    We are to live…

    I love the hope given us in verse 25.It also made me laugh that McGee gave the Pentecostals a “heads up” regarding the upcoming studies! I’m curious now.I can use some hope and laughter today!

    Even in the “Terrible Day of The Lord”,  Gods nature never changes.  He wants people to repent and turn to him! Joel 2:13 KJV[13] and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him…
