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 series called "Basic Biblical Distinctions." This theme of "God's Truth Circles" is a paradigm that Dr. Whitcomb 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."

The conversation continues, as well as the story of corruption and cover-ups. We are asking more questions about the Biden White House and why it is important get to the bottom of all of this.

Dr. John Whitcomb concludes his life story, "The Conversion of an Evolutionist," on this week's edition of "Encounter God's Truth." He will share more of the account of his own conversion—and principles that he has drawn from that experience that have guided him through the years, and can still encourage us today. We will turn to Acts 17, where the Apostle Paul proclaimed the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ to the philosophers of Athens on Mars Hill—and to Acts 20, where we see the model that Paul gave us in the city of Ephesus for carrying out the Great Commission. Dr. Whitcomb first brought this message to the people of Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana, and with host Wayne Shepherd we are thankful to them for being able to share it with you here on "Encounter God's Truth." It is part of our series called "Basic Biblical Distinctions."

The book "Original Sin" by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson is pulling back the curtain to President Biden's decline and coverup. They are finally admitting what we all know.
