Whitcomb Ministries

Thanks for listening to "Encounter God's Truth"—where we teach every week that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Today Dr. John Whitcomb continues his series on "Biblical Apologetics" by concluding our consideration of "Evolutionary Difficulties." We are going to look at some of the Scriptural imperatives that we must practice in order to be effective in sharing our faith with the unbelieving world—also considering the powerful impact that our own lives have upon the effectiveness of our witness for the gospel. Guided by Wayne Shepherd, we travel together to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va., which has graciously allowed Whitcomb Ministries to distribute these messages to a wider audience by way of radio. We are glad that you have joined us for this program, and hope that the broadcast will challenge you to share the gospel with others now—while there is still time.

We go deeper into "Biblical Apologetics" today on "Encounter God's Truth" with Dr. John Whitcomb. This is Part One of a message on "Evolutionary Difficulties." In it we tackle challenging questions like these: Since evolution is not true, why is it so difficult to convince unbelievers regarding the Bible's account of creation? And why do so many Christians even seem unwilling to agree on the Biblical position? Also, how are we as Christians to go about seeking to bring ardent unbelievers to the Lord? Or to strengthen struggling believers? Whitcomb Ministries expresses appreciation to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, West Virginia, for allowing us to bring you this conference audio. Wayne Shepherd, our host, sets the context for this important and timely lesson that is intended to help us effectively communicate that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. We encourage you to share this broadcast with others.

Dr. John Whitcomb concludes his message called, "Basic Biblical Answers"—this week on "Encounter God's Truth." Host Wayne Shepherd invites you to join those who first listened to this teaching when it was given at Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, West Virginia, to demonstrate that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. In drawing on some life lessons he has learned the hard way, Dr. Whitcomb explains the clear Scriptural basis for contending for the faith. He shows how the self-authenticating message of the Word of God and prayer—empowered by Jesus Christ, "the living Word of God"—are the means that we must use when talking with others about our faith. We must never rely on our own limited knowledge or abilities. As Dr. Whitcomb emphasizes, we need to be humble, patient and teachable—leaving the results in God's hands. Thank you for listening to this latest installment in our series on "Biblical Apologetics." May the Lord help you as you seek to apply it.

God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. We know that—but how do we convince other people who do not believe it? That is our focus in this new series of messages here on "Encounter God's Truth." They were originally recorded live as Dr. John Whitcomb delivered them to a conference at Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, West Virginia. Today, Dr. Whitcomb begins a sermon entitled, "Basic Biblical Answers." We are considering the profound issue of how we must present the Bible to non-believers in this postmodern, post-Christian culture. Our teacher opens by using illustrations from the disciplines of science and history to exemplify the challenges that evolutionists face, which we must probe as we proclaim the gospel to those who do not yet believe in Christ. Please join along with host Wayne Shepherd as we open this series on "Biblical Apologetics." This would also be a great opportunity to share our program with a believing—or unbelieving—friend.

Whitcomb Ministries welcomes Dr. Woodrow Kroll back to "Encounter God's Truth" for this special broadcast, titled: "How God Blessed the World Through the Jews." Dr. Kroll shows us from Scripture—which is true from the beginning to the end—and from history how God's blessings are indeed evident upon and through the Jewish people. We hope that you find this message to be informative, and challenging. Join host Wayne Shepherd in sharing your appreciation for this powerful message from a great friend of our ministry, Dr. Woodrow Kroll.

God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! We turn to the very end of the book this week on "Encounter God's Truth" with theologian Dr. John Whitcomb. It gives us a glimpse of the glory that awaits us—and also one last invitation for everyone to come and trust in Christ and receive His all-sufficient provisions for eternity. Host Wayne Shepherd asks Dr. Whitcomb if this study of the eternal destiny of the church sheds light on the church's origin and nature, as described in the historical books of the New Testament and the epistles. Whitcomb Ministries thanks you for listening to this study of "A New Heaven and a New Earth." We hope that it will be a real encouragement to you!

Bible teacher Dr. John Whitcomb explores the unique role of the church as the Bride of Christ in this installment of "Encounter God's Truth." God's Word is true from the beginning to the end, and we learn in this broadcast that it will be so at the future Marriage Supper of the Lamb—when Jesus Christ will return from heaven in glory and this relationship of Christ to His church will be displayed before the nations. Host Wayne Shepherd proceeds to inquire of Dr. Whitcomb as to how we might use our time at the close of this church age to become better prepared to meet the Lord and participate in this celebration. We appreciate your involvement in this ministry, and encourage you to share these truths with others who need to hear!

Do you anticipate receiving a reward from Christ when you stand before His Judgment Seat? On this edition of "Encounter God's Truth," Bible scholar Dr. John Whitcomb will inform and motivate us that we may present to the Lord gold, silver and precious stones when we meet Him on the awesome day of judgment for believers. Wayne Shepherd, our host, also asks Dr. Whitcomb what specific types of works we can do that will be considered valuable in terms of Paul's instructions in 1 Corinthians 3:12. God's Word is true from the beginning to the end, and we want to help you understand that Word and prepare for the future! Thank you for listening.
