Which is greater-truth or love- And how are we to handle the balance between truth and love in our Christian lives and ministries- How do we demonstrate love Biblically---Dr. John Whitcomb will present the case that -Truth is Greater Than Love--beginning this week on -Encounter God-s Truth.---Host Wayne Shepherd is guiding us through this new series called -Basic Biblical Distinctions.- It has a theme that is right in line with the message that you hear us present each and every week on this program-that God-s Word is true from the beginning to the end---This series is drawn from sermons that Dr. Whitcomb delivered at Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Ind.

Dr. John Whitcomb concludes his presentation of a concept that he calls -God-s Truth Circles- this week on -Encounter God-s Truth.---These messages are helping us to understand more about how Jesus and the apostles dealt with people who were at various levels of learning and belief in the truths of Scripture. This gives us a model for knowing how we should approach people today, and it also informs us as to how we are to handle and teach the treasures found in Scripture-or, as Dr. Whitcomb refers to them, -the deep things of God-s precious book, the Bible.---This is part of our new series called -Basic Biblical Distinctions.- It builds upon the foundational principle that God-s Word is true from the beginning to the end.--Host Wayne Shepherd expresses our appreciation to Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Ind.

How are we to minister and teach the Bible in a world filled with error, confusion and compromise-a world of unbelief- With whom should we identify ourselves in Christian ministry, and how do we handle the rejection of the gospel- How can we be involved in both protecting and perpetuating the revelation that God has given to us in His Word- And how does God expect us to handle His Word in a world of professing believers who do not all agree on the Bible-s meaning- How can we genuinely help people that we love---Dr. John Whitcomb begins to answer those questions today on -Encounter God-s Truth- with a message on -God-s Truth Circles.- It is from our new series called -Basic Biblical Distinctions.---This theme of -God-s Truth Circles- is a paradigm that Dr. Whitcomb has developed and taught over many years to help his students cultivate a greater understanding of both theology and its proper application in practical ministry. Of course, it is based in the reality that God-s Word is true from the beginning to the end.--With host Wayne Shepherd, we thank Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Ind., where Dr. Whitcomb first delivered these messages, that we are able to bring them to you here on -Encounter God-s Truth.-
