The Absolute, Infallible Word of God Purified Seven Times and Preserved Forever in the International Language of English with its Beautiful Elizabethan Prose and Poetic, Rhythmical Cadences
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ~ 2 Timothy 2:15
Synopsis:“The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired by God and completely inerrant (without error). "It is the single most reliable and true work of writing extant. It’s words give us wisdom, believing them makes us safe, and acting on them makes us holy. It contains within its living pages a revelation of the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. It’s doctrines are holy, it’s precepts are binding, it’s stories are true, and it’s decisions are immutable. The Bible contains light to direct us, living water to quench our thirst, and comfort to cheer us in times of despair. Jesus Christ is the grand subject of it all, and everything centers upon him. The Bible is the account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition his prophetic declarations concerning Jesus. It’s also the account of Jesus Christ, the Word of God, freely giving all mankind a way of reconciliation to God.” » Online KJV Audio Bible
Synopsis:The presence of trouble does not mean the absence of the Lord. In Matthew 14, the disciples are exactly where Jesus told them to be—and still they find themselves battling wind and waves. Dr. J. Vernon McGee brings us into that storm and shows us a Savior who saves just at the right time. If you’re rowing hard against the current, be encouraged: the Lord has not lost sight of you, and He will see you through.
About Thru The Bible - Sunday Sermon
These Sunday Sermon messages form a collection of the most effective and fruitful sermons given by Dr. J. Vernon McGee during his 21-year pastorate (1949-1970) at the historic Church of the Open Door when it was located in downtown Los Angeles, California.

Dr. McGee remarked, “When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!” His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, age 84, fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior. » Find out more
Built in 1914, the 4000-seat Church of the Open Door was conceived by R. A. Torrey who had come to Los Angeles to start a Bible institute (now known as Biola University) similar to Moody Bible Institute. Other pastors have included Louis T. Talbot (1932–1948) and J. Vernon McGee (1949–1970). The church is strictly non-denominational, though Evangelical. Its mission was to reach the lost of Los Angeles, which was reflected in the name ‘Church of the Open Door’ based on two passages of Scripture:
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” - Jesus Christ, John 10:9 KJV
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:8 KJV

The Ambassador In Bonds: Paul’s Roman Chains Became A Platform For Preaching The Gospel Of The Grace Of God To Gentiles, Jews And Kings
Paul did not call himself the prisoner of Rome, the prisoner of Caesar or the victim of an unjust legal system; he called himself “the prisoner of Jesus Christ” and an “ambassador in bonds.” Rome may have forged the chain, but God determined what the chain would accomplish. Paul’s imprisonment carried the gospel into palaces, courtrooms, military barracks and prison cells that might otherwise have remained closed to him. He did not ask the Church merely to pray that his chains would fall off; he asked for utterance and boldness so that he could continue preaching while wearing them. That is the testimony believers desperately need in 2026—a faith that does not collapse when it becomes uncomfortable, unpopular or costly. We do not seek persecution, but neither do we soften the gospel, conceal our convictions or surrender our testimony merely to escape the consequences of standing for Jesus Christ.
“For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,” KJV
Every born-again believer is an ambassador stationed inside a foreign and increasingly hostile world, and an ambassador has no authority to rewrite the message of his King. The pressure may presently come through ridicule, censorship, lost opportunities, broken relationships or accusations of hatred and extremism, but Paul’s example teaches us that the commission remains in force even when the ambassador is bound. Governments can imprison the preacher, corporations can remove the platform, and men can confiscate the Bible, but “the word of God is not bound.” The defining question for the Church in these last days is not whether we can preserve our comfort, popularity and safety; it is whether we will remain faithful when those things are threatened. We do not seek the chains, but neither will we abandon the testimony to avoid them, the ambassador may be bound, but the word of God remains forever free. On this Sunday Service, come meet Paul the prisoner, the ambassador in bonds.
Synopsis:The late Dr. S. M. Lockridge, a pastor from San Diego, California said these words in a sermon in Detroit in 1976:
“My King was born King. The Bible says He's a Seven Way King. He's the King of the Jews - that's an Ethnic King. He's the King of Israel - that's a National King. He's the King of righteousness. He's the King of the ages. He's the King of Heaven. He's the King of glory. He's the King of kings and He is the Lord of lords. Now that's my King.
Well, I wonder if you know Him. Do you know Him? Don't try to mislead me. Do you know my King? David said the Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork. My King is the only one of whom there are no means of measure that can define His limitless love. No far seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of the shore of His supplies. No barriers can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing.
He's enduringly strong. He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast. He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful. He's impartially merciful. That's my King. He's God's Son. He's the sinner's saviour. He's the centerpiece of civilization. He stands alone in Himself. He's honest. He's unique. He's unparalleled. He's unprecedented. He's supreme. He's pre-eminent. He's the grandest idea in literature. He's the highest personality in philosophy. He's the supreme problem in higher criticism. He's the fundamental doctrine of historic theology. He's the carnal necessity of spiritual religion. That's my King.”

America Fights Iran While Putin Escalates In Europe As Patriot Missile Supplies Fall To ‘Beyond Critical’ Levels Across NATO
Host And Founder Of ‘Now The End Begins’ Geoffrey Grider: Beyond Critical: Trump’s Iran War Drains America’s Patriot Missile Stockpile As Putin Threatens A New Escalation Against Ukraine And NATO
America is fighting Iran, Ukraine is setting Russia’s war machine on fire, Putin is being pushed higher up the escalation ladder, and the Patriot missiles standing between Europe and Russian ballistic weapons are disappearing faster than America can replace them. That is not merely a weapons shortage. That is a geopolitical chain reaction — and every link in the chain is getting hotter.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJV)
America is fighting Iran and burning through the sophisticated interceptors that were supposed to protect U.S. forces and NATO from other adversaries. At the same moment, Ukraine has carried its war deep inside Russia, repeatedly hammering refineries, fuel facilities, ports, weapons plants and other infrastructure that Moscow depends upon to finance and sustain its campaign. Those strikes are now causing measurable pain: Russian refining capacity has been disrupted, fuel restrictions have expanded, and Moscow has been forced to seek additional supplies and processing arrangements abroad. Meanwhile diplomacy has stalled and Russian rhetoric is becoming increasingly belligerent. AP reports that American Patriot interceptor inventories in Europe have fallen to what one U.S. defense official called “beyond critical,” largely because weapons have been diverted and expended during Trump’s war with Iran. These are precisely the interceptors NATO depends upon to destroy the high-speed Russian ballistic missiles that become increasingly important if Moscow climbs the escalation ladder.
Washington therefore finds itself caught in a nightmare equation: Iran is forcing America to expend its missile defenses, Ukraine is forcing Russia deeper into a corner, Russia is contemplating greater military escalation, and America’s ability to defend Europe against that escalation is simultaneously being depleted. And while Washington debates whether Putin will escalate, Russia is already firing waves of ballistic missiles and drones into Ukraine, Ukraine has just set a monthly record for attacks on Russian refineries, Moscow is threatening Western military targets, and Trump says he isn’t worried about Russia attacking NATO — even as America’s premier defense against Russian ballistic missiles remains “beyond critical.” Today we find ourselves at the 6 month anniversary of Trump’s “6 Week War”, with no end or resolution in sight. Welcome to The Golden Age that never was.
A Sharp Escalation Of Anti-Israel Rhetoric: Turkey Vows ‘Liberation’ Of Jerusalem
By Soeren Kern:Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan has sharply escalated his rhetoric against Israel (the nationstate of God’s chosen people) to the point where military conflict between the two countries is no longer merely a theoretical possibility. In a recent address to the Turkish Parliament, he said the Jewish state “has become increasingly arrogant” and “a source of threat not only for the region but also for humanity.”
ErdoÄŸan said Israel’s continuing efforts to degrade the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon and other jihadist groups in Syria now pose a threat to Turkey itself. He added that Lebanon and Syria are “within Turkey’s geography of love and brotherhood” and that “we will not tolerate . . . any [Israeli attack] against our brothers.”
The Turkish president then compared Israel to Nazi Germany and declared, “Israel must be stopped; this is the duty of humanity and the humanitarian front. History must not be allowed to repeat itself.”
Referring to Israel, ErdoÄŸan concluded, “We already know your intentions, your aims, your goals very well. We see very well what you are pursuing. We are very well aware of the ultimate goal of the Promised Land delusion. With Allah’s permission, we will never allow this.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded, “The antisemitic dictator ErdoÄŸan—who is committing genocide against the Kurds, supports the Hamas terrorist organization, oppresses his own people and imprisons political rivals—is the last person who can lecture the State of Israel on morality. The State of Israel and the IDF [Israel Defense Forces], the most moral army in the world, will continue to take forceful action against Iran and its proxies, which threaten the Middle East and the entire world.”
By PNW Staff:More than two years after October 7, Israel is sending a message to the men who participated in the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust: time will not erase what you did, distance will not protect you, and hiding behind sympathetic governments, organizations or civilian populations will not guarantee that Israel will stop looking for you.
That principle is now colliding with international criticism.
The UN Human Rights Office has challenged Israeli military conduct and targeted killings, arguing that international humanitarian and human rights law still constrain how Israel deals with those accused of atrocities. That concern cannot simply be dismissed. There is an important distinction between eliminating an active terrorist who remains part of an armed organization and killing someone solely as punishment for something he did years earlier.
But that distinction raises another question the international community rarely seems willing to answer.
What happens when those responsible for mass murder remain embedded within terrorist organizations, continue facilitating attacks, find sanctuary among sympathetic populations or organizations, and are protected by institutions that Israel has little confidence will ever bring them to justice?
The Islamic Takeover Is Here: Turning U.S. Cities Into ‘Beachheads’ For Islam
By Pamela Geller:A RealClearInvestigations analysis finds that Islamic activists now hold at least ten (10) high-ranking positions at New York city hall under Mayor Mamdani, including several alumni of terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations, which the FBI says is a “Hamas front.” Some of the new Muslim officials are in a position to influence the city’s anti-terror policies and the selection of judges, RCI has learned.
The first phase – the Ground Zero mosque and giant mosques in residential neighborhoods with small Muslim populations were “rabats,” a beachhead to spread Islam. The first rabat appeared at the time of Muhammad. According to Iranian political analyst Amir Taheri:
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word “raid”). The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat – or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided. The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare for future razzias [raids].
By Hugh Fitzgerald:About how the UK suffers from Muslim crime well beyond the mass rapists of the Pakistani grooming gangs, and its taxpayers are now forced to spend tens of billions of pounds every year to pay for all the welfare benefits Muslim migrants are receiving, Andy Burnham has had nothing to say. Instead, as his first major policy decision as prime minister, he has decided to impose a total embargo on goods produced in what he, and the BBC, call the “occupied West Bank.”
Burnham apparently does not know, or does not care to remember, that Jews have lived in Judea and Samaria for the past 3500 years. He does not know, or care to remember, that the League of Nations created the Mandate for Palestine that included all the territory between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea, and that Mandate was intended to lead to the creation of the Jewish state of Israel. Burnham should know this. The holder of the Mandate was Great Britain.
The Left Did Not Freak Out When Obama Changed The Name Of Mount Mckinley
Article Excerpt:Most of the Democrat Party came down with a raging case of Trump Derangement Syndrome after President Trump signed an Executive Order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.
The renaming meant to poke Canada during a trade war – but it also poked the Legacy Media – much like when he declared that big body of water bordering the Southern states as the Gulf of America.
The president called the Canadians “nasty people” and accused them of “ripping us off for a long time on trade, very sadly.”
“New York won’t be calling it that,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, wrote on social media in response to a White House post touting the new Lake America name.
By Michael Snyder:There is a growing national outcry to ban Flock cameras. We do not give up our constitutional rights when we get into our vehicles, and we do not want authoritarian control freaks watching us, monitoring us and tracking us everywhere that we go. This is an issue that is uniting people all over the country, and so you would think that politicians from both parties would be getting on board. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all. Many top Republicans are coming out against Flock cameras very strongly, but the silence from the left has been deafening. Yes, there are a few voices on the far left that appear to be concerned about our civil liberties, but most prominent Democrats have been eerily silent about Flock cameras. Why is that?
If you want cameras to watch you everywhere that you go, move to China.
Seriously.
We don’t want to live in a surveillance state, and our Constitution is supposed to protect us from that.
Synopsis:Something is happening between Turkey and Syria and it may have major biblical significance.
As Turkey increases its presence in Syria and tensions grow near Israel’s northern border, Pastor Dave examines how these developments could connect to Ezekiel 38, Isaiah 17, Obadiah, and other end-times prophecies. From military activity and threats against Israel to the Abraham Accords and major changes taking place across the Middle East, are we watching the prophetic pieces begin to align?
In this episode of The Final Hour, we connect today’s headlines with Scripture and ask the question: are these events happening in plain sight while the world looks the other way?
Watch until the end as Pastor Dave breaks down the biblical nations of prophecy and what their modern day counterparts could mean for the days ahead.
Synopsis:A rare 1988 preformance by Dean (That Darn Cat!) Jones is Saint John in this intimate, inspiring one-man presentation. He has been punished by Rome for his faith in Christ Jesus and exiled to the Greek island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea around A.D. 96. He is all alone and has time to reflect and tell us about his life. Full of humor, strong in spirit, and resolutely committed to Christ, John shares his account of the events that changed the course of human history.
“I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 1:9, KJV
