When God is at work, there’s never a dull moment. In this month’s feature article, learn how the Gospel of Mark is somewhat like an action movie, in which Jesus is swift and precise in serving, healing, and teaching. May this book of action remind you God is working in your life right now.

And speaking of God at work, get a glimpse of what He’s done in Africa over the years. Enjoy the message from a fellow Bible Bus traveler in Zimbabwe.

As always, we’ve got your seat saved on the Bible Bus.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road


The Gospel of Action


By Dr. J. Vernon McGee


One of the first New Testament books to be written was the Gospel of Mark. Though John Mark was not an apostle, he traveled with Paul and his uncle, Barnabas, on the first missionary journey.  By far, John Mark’s closest relationship was with Simon Peter. This Gospel has long been considered Simon Peter’s account, as told to John Mark. Some have said the facts of the Gospel are from Peter and the explanations are from Paul.

John Mark specifically wrote this Gospel for the Roman mind—the strong man who ruled the world for a millennium. The Romans brought a forced peace to the world with its strong dictatorship and—with it—justice, good roads, law and order, and protection. In the days when the Caesars ruled, the world longed for mercy and all they got was power. No man dared resist it, and fleeing the realm was impossible. It was in that day God sent a message to the Gentile world through the writer, John Mark.

Field Notes: Taking the Word to the World


The Early Years of Radio in Africa


Ray Alary remembers the days when he served THRU the BIBLE in his role at Trans World Radio


“It is the third Sunday night of the month. I’m living in South Africa, packing my two suitcases with just two items: rice and cooking oil. My routine is the same every month. I’ll spend a week with my TWR team in Zimbabwe. Life is difficult there, to say the least, so I do my best to make sure our small team has something to eat.

“Thru the Bible has been the cornerstone of radio ministry to Zimbabwe for almost 30 years. In the darkest days it was many people’s church, also the Bible school for lay pastors who had no formal training. When the country didn’t have electricity (often), it was the light in total darkness."

Mark Bible Companion

What makes Mark’s Gospel unique from the others? The difference is in the details. Mark, telling the disciple Peter’s story, gives a private glimpse of how Jesus served.

World Prayer Today

“Never did I imagine that one day I would engage a group of people in my locality to study the Bible. In fact, like Moses, I didn’t want to lead at first; but now I thank God for giving me this great privilege."

Mark

“In Mark's Gospel, Jesus lays aside the regal robes of kingship and girds Himself with the towel of service. He is King in Matthew's Gospel; now He is God’s Servant.” –Dr. J. Vernon McGee
