Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Th.D.
How To Grow
Transcript: Now this is important to understand today. The Word of God needs to be read. And until the church is getting people into the Word of God, it’s, I think, missing its main function. This is very important. What is the minister to do today? How is the minister to grow? Well, he’s to grow by reading and by exhortation and doctrine. You see, a growing minister makes a growing church. And what about you? Are you farther along today than you were this time last year? Are you growing in grace and the knowledge of Christ? The only way to do is by reading the Word of God—the great truths of the Word of God.

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
