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, West Virginia, 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.”
