Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee 1 Timothy 3:8-16
It’s been said that three things can take a church, or a pastor of a church, down: money, sex, and power. In our study of 1 Timothy, chapter 3, Dr. J. Vernon McGee addresses these deadly sins and others that crop up in the church today. Join us as we continue to glean wisdom from Paul on the issue of leadership in the local church.

A Glorious Privilege
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” The most glorious privilege you and I have is that we have a book here that the Holy Spirit alone can interpret to us and make real in our lives. And you and I can never know the will of God ignorant of the Word of God. And again, that’s the reason that a great many believers today are cruising in a fog, totally ignorant of the Word of God. He’s the author of the book. And He alone can interpret it to our hearts and lives.

Daily Promise
Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. (Psalm 119:90)
God is the true measure of faithfulness. Never failing, His goodness endures forever. His salvation is eternal. His nature is unchanging. His glory is to everlasting. Depend upon the Lord Who is worthy!
Sometimes Things Don't Make Sense
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. — Psalm 37:5
We do not always know how or why God designs things in life as He does, but He has a purpose and plan that works for our best interest.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 12th — Evening Reading
"The bow shall be seen in the cloud." — Genesis 9:14
The rainbow, the symbol of the covenant with Noah, is typical of our Lord Jesus, who is the Lord's witness to the people. When may we expect to see the token of the covenant? The rainbow is only to be seen painted upon a cloud. When the sinner's conscience is dark with clouds, when he remembers his past sin, and mourneth and lamenteth before God, Jesus Christ is revealed to him as the covenant Rainbow, displaying all the glorious hues of the divine character and betokening peace. To the believer, when his trials and temptations surround him, it is sweet to behold the person of our Lord Jesus Christ-to see Him bleeding, living, rising, and pleading for us. God's rainbow is hung over the cloud of our sins, our sorrows, and our woes, to prophesy deliverance. Nor does a cloud alone give a rainbow, there must be the crystal drops to reflect the light of the sun. So, our sorrows must not only threaten, but they must really fall upon us. There had been no Christ for us if the vengeance of God had been merely a threatening cloud: punishment must fall in terrible drops upon the Surety. Until there is a real anguish in the sinner's conscience, there is no Christ for him; until the chastisement which he feels becomes grievous, he cannot see Jesus. But there must also be a sun; for clouds and drops of rain make not rainbows unless the sun shineth. Beloved, our God, who is as the sun to us, always shines, but we do not always see Him-clouds hide His face; but no matter what drops may be falling, or what clouds may be threatening, if He does but shine there will be a rainbow at once. It is said that when we see the rainbow the shower is over. Certain it is, that when Christ comes, our troubles remove; when we behold Jesus, our sins vanish, and our doubts and fears subside. When Jesus walks the waters of the sea, how profound the calm!
Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 13th — Morning Reading
"The cedars of Lebanon which He hath planted." — Psalm 104:16
Lebanon's cedars are emblematic of the Christian, in that they owe their planting entirely to the Lord. This is quite true of every child of God. He is not man-planted, nor self-planted, but God-planted. The mysterious hand of the divine Spirit dropped the living seed into a heart which He had Himself prepared for its reception. Every true heir of heaven owns the great Husbandman as his planter. Moreover, the cedars of Lebanon are not dependent upon man for their watering; they stand on the lofty rock, unmoistened by human irrigation; and yet our heavenly Father supplieth them. Thus it is with the Christian who has learned to live by faith. He is independent of man, even in temporal things; for his continued maintenance he looks to the Lord his God, and to Him alone. The dew of heaven is his portion, and the God of heaven is his fountain. Again, the cedars of Lebanon are not protected by any mortal power. They owe nothing to man for their preservation from stormy wind and tempest. They are God's trees, kept and preserved by Him, and by Him alone. It is precisely the same with the Christian. He is not a hot-house plant, sheltered from temptation; he stands in the most exposed position; he has no shelter, no protection, except this, that the broad wings of the eternal God always cover the cedars which He Himself has planted. Like cedars, believers are full of sap having vitality enough to be ever green, even amid winter's snows. Lastly, the flourishing and majestic condition of the cedar is to the praise of God only. The Lord, even the Lord alone hath been everything unto the cedars, and, therefore David very sweetly puts it in one of the psalms, "Praise ye the Lord, fruitful trees and all cedars." In the believer there is nothing that can magnify man; he is planted, nourished, and protected by the Lord's own hand, and to Him let all the glory be ascribed.
Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee 1 Timothy 3:16—4:6
If we know the truth, it’s easier to spot the lies. That’s the good word we’ll hear in our study of 1 Timothy 3 and 4. Hop aboard the Bible Bus as Apostle Paul teaches us how to spot those who are actively trying to deceive us by spreading false doctrines within the church.

God's Concern For Us
Who is concerned about you today? Well, I’m of the opinion that there are very few. How about the people where you work? How about even the people in your church? How about your family even? A man told me some time ago, he says, “I honestly wonder who really cares about me today.” And he’s a successful businessman. And he says, “Everybody, including my family, they are only interested in what they can get out of me.” How sad. But God’s concerned about you. And He’s concerned about me. That’s quite comforting in this tremendous universe in which I live. I could get lost in it I’m so small. But He’s got His eye out—He has a concern for us.
