God's Word is true from the beginning to the end- That is not only our motto here on -Encounter God's Truth,- but it also gives motivation for teaching the Bible to others.--This week, Dr. John Whitcomb turns to one of his favorite passages to explain the -Characteristics of True Discipleship.- He will show how a disciple must be trained to teach others the whole Word of God.--Of course, you should not be surprised that on this program our emphasis is on communicating the truth of Scripture, and we hope that will be clear to you again today.--And you will want to stay with us to the end, when host Wayne Shepherd asks Dr. Whitcomb what kinds of steps a Christian should take in implementing a 2 Timothy 2-2-type of ministry in his or her life and family.
