Dr. John Whitcomb went to be with the Lord this past February, but we are delighted with the opportunity to continue to bring you his classic Bible teaching here on “Encounter God’s Truth”—a weekly radio and Internet broadcast outreach of Whitcomb Ministries.
We are currently presenting brand new programs from Volume Two of our series called “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.”

In Acts 6, we have the first crisis in the first church of Jerusalem. And this time we hear Dr. Whitcomb begin to explain its significance and its outcome.

With host Wayne Shepherd, we go into the auditorium of the Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, to hear Dr. Whitcomb deliver Part One of his message to the Independent Fundamental Bible Conference. It’s called: “The Church: Organized and Empowered.”

And we present it with gratitude to God and to Middletown Bible Church. Thanks for listening—and then sharing this program with a friend.

Today on PTIB Jimmy DeYoung will have a very important conversation with Dave James, as he comes to Jimmy's Broadcast Table. Dave has done a "deep-dive" on the phenomenon of QAnon. In the conversation Jimmy and Dave will reveal what they know about this interesting organization, if it is actually an organization. You need to hear this conversation; in order to get the facts; how QAnon got started; who is "Q"; who the "Nons" are; and what are the goals of this unique group. God's Word has much to say about "deception", especially, in the last days. Jimmy and Dave will apply the Word of God to their discussion and the issue.

Two of Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Partners will join Jimmy today here on PTIB. First to the Broadcast Table will be John Rood. John, on a weekly basis, has a European Union Up-date, where John reports the EU political activities that are actually setting the stage for the prophetic scenario of God's Word to be fulfilled. Then Dr. Don DeYoung will join Jimmy to discuss a potpourri of issues as we focus on the heavenlies. That focus will include the subject of life on the Planet of Venus, and the up-coming attack on Earth by the "election-day asteroid".

On a weekly basis, Dave Dolan comes to Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Table to give us his Middle East News Up-date. Dave is joining Jimmy to do that today on Prophecy Today Intelligence Briefing. Jimmy and Dave will discuss the Middle East Peace Agreements, signed at the White House; how the Palestinians are preparing for a third Intifada, an all-out war between the Palestinians and the Israelis; and the population of Israel, as the Jews begin the Jewish New Year, 5781.

God designed sex for a covenant marriage relationship, not for a succession of one-night stands. In this message we confront the allure of sexual affairs, which poison our souls and undermine our ability to make commitments. How can we be free from this sin?

Each day on PTIB we look at current events in light of Biblical Prophecy. That is why Jimmy DeYoung brings Ken Timmerman to his Broadcast Table. Today, Jimmy and Ken will cover the Abraham Accords; Turkey as the new Islamic State; and Russia wants to be indispensable in the Middle East. This conversation between Jimmy and Ken is "indispensable" in your understanding of how the Islamic Nations of the Middle East, partnered with Russia, are aligning themselves, with the purpose in mind, to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.

Bible Teaching of Dr. John Whitcomb for the Week of September 21, 2020

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave some pointed teaching on morality, telling those in lust to pluck out their eyes. Jesus was showing the seriousness of sin. In this message, we investigate Matthew chapter five, and find some tough love from the Son of God.

Dave James and Jimmy DeYoung have their weekly conversation on PTIB today, a discussion on the "falling away" from God's Word in the "evangelical world" today. This is an important discussion that you do not want to miss. Jimmy and Dave will talk about how the Church does not really believe the Word, from God, the historic "fundamentals" of the faith. A recent survey gives them the bottom-line truth of what is really in the hearts and minds of those referred to as "Evangelicals". They will also discuss "fundamentalist", and the "Fundamentals of the Faith".

Like quicksand, alcohol draws in its victims until they can no longer free themselves. The temptation to drink is best handled by never taking that first sip. In this message we learn why it’s almost impossible to say, “I’m quitting tomorrow.”

Israel Update: A New Era of Peace? We are joined by Jimmy DeYoung (Prophecy Today). Topics discussed include: A New Era of Peace? Abraham Accords - The Details. The Jihad Brotherhood and the Iranian Threat. An Historical Israeli Lockdown.

Two of Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Partners will join him at the Broadcast Table today here on PTIB. First will be Winkie Medad who comes to explain the connection between the Jewish Feast Days and the fruit in the land of Israel. Winkie's report is on a fulfillment of Bible Prophecy today. Then Jimmy will go to John Rood for his European Union Up-date. John will report on how the political events in the EU are setting the stage for the prophetic significance of today's EU, in the near future.

Alcohol is the tolerated drug, and alcohol abuse is costing our society billions in lost productivity, lost relationships, and lost lives. Too many Christians misuse what they feel is their freedom to drink by drinking one too many. In this message we learn the unvarnished truth about alcoholism.

Ken Timmerman is Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Partner that covers the geo-political events happening in our world today. As Ken comes to the Broadcast Table, he and Jimmy will discuss a number of events, for example, the recent "9-11 Memorial" events; Hamas and Hizbullah meeting in Lebanon to form "The Jihad Brotherhood"; Turkey's radical activities in the Middle East; and Iran's new military satellite which will allow Iran to attack any, and all of America's real estate, anywhere, and at any time.

America, Wake Up Before It's Too Late! We are joined by Keith Davidson (President, Seedline International). Topics discussed include: Is the Lord Trying to Get Our Attention? U.S. Capitol Bible Reading Marathon. God’s Plan for Washington D.C. ’52 Tuesdays’ Prayer Initiative.

People who watch lottery winners on TV often think their number will come up someday. So, they keep buying a few more tickets. However, gambling is a shortcut, bypassing honest labor. And for a Christian, it violates all God stands for.

Dave Dolan comes to Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Table today on PTIB to give us his Middle East News Up-date. This weekly report up-dates us on recent events in that key region of our world, the Middle East, where the stage is being set for God's Prophetic scenario to be played out, in the near future. Jimmy and Dave will discuss the Arab Leagues' rejection of the Palestinian demand on the ME Peace Process; Israel making ready to "lock-down" the Temple Mount for all worshipers, Jews, Christians, and Muslims; and the Peace Treaty signing at the White House between Israel and the UAE.

From lottery tickets to riverboats, gambling spells big trouble. It takes money from those who can least afford it, those hoping for a “big break.” Some say they would never gamble. Yet the lure of fast cash leads many Christians into serious trouble.

Who can argue with the fact that God must be obeyed above men? Yet, what do we do when suffering ensues for those who make the wiser choice? Welcome back to “Encounter God’s Truth,” a weekly radio and Internet broadcast outreach of Whitcomb Ministries. Dr. John Whitcomb went to be with the Lord in February of this year, but his classic Bible teaching is needed now more than ever, and we still have so much of it to share with you. So, this week we bring you more material that is brand new to our radio broadcast, as we’re opening Volume Two of our series called “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.”

Dr. Whitcomb drew on the experience of the apostles in Acts 5 to teach us how we are to handle “Suffering for the Lord.” In the United States, we have not known much about persecution, but that may be changing in the days to come. We can learn much from this text, regardless of the type of suffering that any one of us might be facing today.
With host Wayne Shepherd, we express our gratitude to the Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, where these messages were first preached at the Independent Fundamental Bible Conference. They show us clearly once again how God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end.


Today on PTIB Jimmy DeYoung will have his weekly conversation with Dave James on an issue important to the Christian Community. Jimmy and Dave will look at the issue from a Biblical prospective. Jimmy and Dave will focus on the subject of "Hate Speech", an issue in the European community. In Scotland they are trying to enact legislation that would make the Bible and Preaching from the Bible, "hate speech". This type of government control could come to America, and then as Christians, how would we deal with this government mandate. One of several questions that Jimmy and Dave will discuss in their conversation today on PTIB.
