Ready to get on the Bible bus with me?

 Hello everyone,

  How are you all doing today?  It's starting to warm up here in North Dakota.  Yesterday the temp reached SEVENTY DEGREES!!!  The snow is all melted and there is mud everywhere.  Being we live in a very dry part of the country, we are thankful for these late snows that brought much needed moisture.  

  Yesterday I hosted our community ladies for our monthly Bible study.  We studied Ephesians 2.  God has much to say about salvation being a gift from God.  This means that we need to come to Him as we are.  There is no amount of cleaning ourselves up to impress God as His word says our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him!

  All we need to do is admit that we're sinners and ask Him to forgive us our sins and put them all under Jesus shed blood on the cross.  Then invite in the Holy Spirit who changes us to be the children that God always knew we could be.  That's why He loves us so much--he sees the difference that He can make in our lives when we invite Him in.

  I have a new project in this regard.  I've been getting irritating phone calls on my cell.  They call and say nothing sometimes 5 or 6 times a day.  I was getting perturbed from all of the interruptions when I asked the Lord what to do about it.  He shared an idea with me and it changed everything.

  Now, when a strange number calls me, I talk to them.  I tell them the plan of salvation.  I tell them that Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins.  I tell them that all we need to do is to tell Jesus that we know we're sinners.  Then ask Him to forgive our sins and put them under His shed blood.  The last step is to ask God the Father to erase all of the charges in our books of life that satan is using as grounds to attack us.  

  As you might imagine, not everyone listens to the end.  I'm surprised, though, how many listen for quite a while.  When they hang up on my message, I pray for them to accept Christ.  THEY have made ME a missionary and I don't even have to leave home.  HOW COOL IS THAT?  God makes even cripples like me useful for His purposes and I so do love Him for that!!!

  The main reason I'm writing today is to share an opportunity we all have. I'm copying from my Facebook page.

  The past couple of years I've learned so much by listening to this daily broadcast. Dr. J. Vernon McGee has gone to live with Jesus but his teachings go on. They call it the "Bible bus" and people listen around the world. It takes Dr. McGee 5 years to go through the Bible. He just finished Revelations and tomorrow he begins anew in Genesis. Perhaps you want to get on the Bible bus with me?

You can go to ttb.org to find where to listen on your local Christian radio station or you can get the app on your phone.

I have learned so much about God's faithfulness by listening to Dr. McGee's broadcasts. He has a wealth of knowledge about life during Bible times that brings the Word of God to life. Tomorrow he starts in Genesis 1.

Guess what. I just found the message for tomorrow. This is giving me an idea. I've been praying for something useful to share daily with you all. What if I were to share the Bible bus message for the day here? Well, listen to this and see what you think.

To quote Dr. McGee as he closes each lesson "May God richly bless you my beloved!"
