The Necessity of God's Word (Part 1)

This week on "Encounter God's Truth," Whitcomb Ministries presents the next installment in our series on "Biblical Apologetics." The message will be the first portion of a sermon by Dr. John Whitcomb called, "The Necessity of God's Word." Listen as host Wayne Shepherd leads us back to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va.—where we learn to strengthen our faith in the reality that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Our teacher shows us that we have a power source that is readily available, which allows us as mere finite human beings to have victory and influence in the spiritual realm—even though we are opposed by all the enemies of God and His gospel (both human and demonic), as well as our own sin natures. This power source is nothing hidden or mysterious, but something that is readily available to each of us—the Holy Scriptures. Thank you so much for listening to this week's program. Please feel free to share it with others and be sure to tell your friends about our ministry.

The Necessity of God's Power (Part 2)

Dr. John Whitcomb instructs us further regarding "The Necessity of God's Power" in this message, continuing his series on "Biblical Apologetics," which was first delivered at Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va. This sermon reinforces the certainty that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end by explaining more about how to share our faith with those who disagree and resist the message of God's grace. It goes into detail regarding the power source that influences unbelievers—namely Satan and his demons, and how they relate to history and prophecy. With host Wayne Shepherd, we consider how to respond Biblically when unbelievers are less than enthusiastic about our witness for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for joining us on this edition of "Encounter God's Truth" from Whitcomb Ministries. We encourage you to make full use of this program by sharing it with a friend who could be encouraged by it.

The Necessity of God's Power (Part 1)

This week on "Encounter God's Truth" from Whitcomb Ministries, Bible teacher Dr. John Whitcomb presents part one of a message called "The Necessity of God's Power." We go to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va., along with host Wayne Shepherd, to learn how the Bible clearly explains that every person possesses a sin nature that renders us totally depraved. This desperate condition requires God's perfect ability in order to make it possible for anyone to believe the gospel and be saved. This can never be accomplished by our feeble attempts to manipulate or trick people into accepting the gospel. In this lesson, Dr. Whitcomb unfolds the place that arguments and evidences for the Christian faith should have in our witness—in light of both the total depravity of man and the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures. God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! Thanks for listening to it today on "Encounter God's Truth."

Evolutionary Difficulties (Part 2)

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.

Evolutionary Difficulties (Part 1)

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.
