Do you know who qualifies as "the worst missionary in the history of the world"? According to Dr. John Whitcomb, it was the prophet Jonah—the prophet that God sent to warn the nation of Assyria in the eighth century before Christ. Is it not amazing that Jonah—who had even tried to escape from the call of God and run away—had no love at all for the Assyrian people, "the most horribly cruel nation in the ancient world, the Nazis of the ancient world"? And yet he delivered the message that the Lord had given him for the city of Nineveh. Dr. Whitcomb views this as an example of speaking the truth—without love. It is still powerful, but it is not God's ideal, nor is it the most effective way that we can minister the gospel, or any of God's Word, which is true from the beginning to the end! With host Wayne Shepherd, Whitcomb Ministries thanks you for listening to this message called, "Truth is Greater Than Love," from our series on "Basic Biblical Distinctions." It comes from a series of sermons that Dr. Whitcomb recorded at Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana. We are so glad to have their permission to present them to a wider audience here on "Encounter God's Truth."

Our purpose on "Encounter God's Truth" is to proclaim boldly that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! Our teacher, Dr. John Whitcomb, is doing that currently in a series called "Basic Biblical Distinctions." It was recorded live at Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Ind., and we thank them for allowing us to broadcast it to you here on radio and the Internet. We are in the middle of a sermon called "Truth is Greater Than Love." We are dealing with questions that will have a profound effect upon our Christian lives and ministries—such as how we are to find the balance between truth and love, and how we can truly show love to those we seek to serve. Today, we also consider the issue of Christians who practice truth without love—as opposed to those who seek to exhibit love, but compromise the truth. With host Wayne Shepherd, Whitcomb Ministries thanks you for listening to this broadcast, and encourages you to share all that you have learned from it with a friend.

Several states have "enshrined" abortion into their constitutions pretending that it is a natural right -- to kill an innocent unborn child for any reason. The results of this policy are morbid.
