Most of us have too much stuff. In our greed we look at our neighbors, note their possessions, and say, “I need everything they have.” Greed is insidious, and unless it’s put to death, it will choke the life out of a Christian.

Greed says, “I want more.” Greed is the first of the seven secret snares that Pastor Lutzer is exposing. It lies like a serpent within our souls, and it wants to destroy us. In this message we learn how to break the power of greed in our life.

The European Union is a key region of our world. On a weekly basis, we go to John Rood for his EU Update. John looks at the political events in the EU and Jimmy DeYoung gives us a prophetic prospective on John's report. Today here on PTIB Jimmy and John will cover the French President traveling to Iraq; The Russians holding live-fire exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean; and how China is calling for the EU to join them in their conflict with the United States.

Satan tries to derail our walk with God. He appeals to natural desires and gets us to fulfill them in destructive ways. In this message we learn more about a war from which there’s no escape until heaven, and we learn how a Christian can best defeat temptation.

Dave Dolan's Middle East News Up-date is a key report for those of us who are students of Bible Prophecy. Today on PTIB Jimmy DeYoung brings Dave to his Broadcast Table for this important report. Jimmy and Dave will discuss the historic flight from Israel to the United Arab Emirates, over Saudi airspace; PM Netanyahu saying that there are secret talks going on between Israel and many of the Arab nations; and the Islamic Trust, which has custodial control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, stopping Israeli archaeologist from investigating new archaeological discoveries on the Temple Mount.

“Encounter God’s Truth” is a weekly faith-building broadcast 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 material that is brand new to our radio broadcast, and it opens Volume Two of our series called “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.”
We are considering the question: How do we serve the Lord effectively—even during times of suffering? 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 again how God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end.


Today on Prophecy Today Intelligence Briefing Dave James will join Jimmy DeYoung at the Broadcast Table to discuss the political arena and how we as Christians must prayerfully consider the person and party which we will cast our vote for in the coming election day. This is a very important election. Jimmy and Dave will discuss Biblical Principles that must be a part of our decision-making process; how the candidate's party platform fits in the decision; and why your vote is so important in the process, as it leads us into the future.

The recent Peace Accord made between Israel and the UAE has the ME Region in search of additional Peace Agreements between the Jewish State and their Arab neighbors. The US Sec of State Mike Pompeo is in the ME, meeting with the Israeli leaders, and then, in secret meetings, with a number of Arab States, hoping to have them move to normalize with Israel. Today on PTIB Jimmy DeYoung will have at his Broadcast Table Winkie Medad to talk about the prospects of other Arab-Israeli Peace Accords. Jimmy will also talk with Winkie about these peace accords bringing about the rebuilding of the next Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

Why is it that some kids want to leave home and experience what the world has to offer? Often, they end up in ruins, wishing they’d never left. In this message we look at one prodigal son who left, and never returned. His name was Absalom.

On a weekly basis, Jimmy DeYoung brings to his Broadcast Table Dave Dolan, so that Dave can give us his Middle East News Up-date. This week Dave reports on the recent visit to Israel by Mike Pompeo, the US Sec. of State, in order to develop the Peace process in the Middle East; Turkish President Erdogan's PR video revealing Erdogan's desire to control the City of Jerusalem; Israel launching airstrikes on Hizbullah in Southern Lebanon; the Sanhedrin requesting permission from the Israeli Government to blow a Shofar on the Temple Mount on the Feast of Trumpets; and the US call for a Middle East Peace Conference, somewhere in the ME.

Ken Timmerman is the Prophecy Today Broadcast Partner who covers the geo-political events for us here on PTIB. Ken will join Jimmy DeYoung at the Broadcast Table today to look at a potpourri of these geopolitical current events, and then Jimmy will give us his Prophetic Prospective on these issues. Ken will bring to the conversation reports on Mike Pompeo's visit to the Middle East, first Israel and then a number of the Arab States, as well; Iran as a "criminal enterprise", not a "State"; and Turkish President Erdogan's activities in the ME, coupled with his desire to control the City of Jerusalem.

The Bullying Tactics of John Calvin (Lesson #8)

Farmers know it’s pretty simple: no seeds, no plants. No plants, no vegetables. No vegetables, no harvest. They know all about the laws of sowing and reaping, laws God set in motion a long time ago. In this message we’ll explore what Paul wrote about this to the church at Corinth.

God is very serious about building His church, and He also desires that those who lead it will be committed to purity of life and doctrine. Today on “Encounter God’s Truth,” we listen as theologian Dr. John Whitcomb shows from Acts 5 what dramatic action God took at the dawn of the church age to demonstrate the importance of holiness in His church.
Dr. Whitcomb’s message is called “Hypocrisy in the Church.” We are replaying it to set the context as we open Volume Two of our series, “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.” He closed this message with a sobering exhortation—yet one that definitely reflects the tone that Luke, the author of Acts, set forth as he described this incident that culminated in the premature deaths of Ananias and Sapphira. Host Wayne Shepherd and Whitcomb Ministries wish to express our thanks once again to Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, for recording these messages and granting permission for us to air them here.
We trust that they have been a blessing to you—driving you toward the certainty that God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end.


The weekly conversation that Jimmy DeYoung has with Dave James, allows these two to look at current issues in our world, from a Biblical prospective. Today on PTIB Jimmy will bring Dave to the Broadcast Table for that conversation. This time they will discuss how a Christian should vote for one candidate, or the other, even if it seems to be casting a vote for the "lesser of two evils". This is a very important discussion, please stay tuned.

Some might see giving generously to the church as a waste. Jesus told a parable exploding this myth once and for all. The bottom line: money given to transform the lives of others bears a thousand-percent return-on-investment.

The American Pastor's Network has a plan to arrange to stop lawlessness in the streets of America, and also in the halls of Local, State, and National Government. Sam Rohrer, the President of the American Pastor's Network comes to Jimmy DeYoung's Broadcast Table, here on PTIB today, to explain that plan. Sam will also remind us of the downfall of our great Nation, America if lawlessness is not defeated in our Nation.

Have you noticed the spirit of fear that has a grip on many in our nation right now?  Have you noticed how we rarely hear about how many people tested negative or survived the virus?  Instead, newscasts continue to report growing totals of those who test positive for coronavirus along with the total death count.  There’s the fear caused by news reports of possible mandatory vaccinations, even before the vaccine is available.  Adding fuel to the fear is the mobs, the riots, the fires as well as the destruction of property.  All of this is causing some people to be so fearful that they’re afraid to leave their homes.  

The Palestinian people believe that the United Arab Emirates stabbed them in the back when the UAE normalized relations with the Jewish State of Israel. Jimmy DeYoung will bring Itamar Marcus to the Broadcast Table, here on Prophecy Today Intelligence Briefing, to explain this issue and also to report that the Palestinian Media is calling for the assassination of the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates because of the Peace Accord which he made with the Jewish State.

Have you ever considered that God is observing our giving? He sees every area of our lives. Jesus was in the Temple courtyard, watching as the rich made sure the crowds saw them give. Then, He looked intently at a poor widow who dropped her last two mites in the treasury.
