Colossians 1:18-24
Synopsis: “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Now may I say this to you today, Christian friend. And I can speak after some experience. Turn your enemies over to God. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.” Turn them over to God. Say, “Lord, deal with them.” And you know, over a period now of many years—I’ve been a pastor 40 years—I found out the Lord does a better job of dealing with them than I would. Because He knows how to do it. I don’t. Turn your enemies over to God. Those that have betrayed you. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord….”

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. 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.

About Church of the Open Door
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
