Are you becoming a better actor instead of a better Christian?

Increasing numbers of believers are not experiencing the joy and life-change offered by Jesus Christ. Instead, they are frustrated and disillusioned. Their marriages are deteriorating. Their relationships with their kids are filled with conflict. They’re acquiring self-destructive behaviors. Some are ready to give up on their faith altogether. And they’re covering up their problems with a happy face.

They are living with troubled hearts. You may be one of them. Yet Jesus said, “Do not let your heart be troubled.” Is that even possible in today’s world?

In Hope for the Troubled Heart, Dennis Kizziar answers with an emphatic “Yes!” Inspired by a gradual awakening to his own troubled heart, Dennis explains the heart from a biblical perspective, identifies the three common obstacles to a life of freedom, and shows step by step how to rediscover God’s joy and peace. The pathway to the life you were meant to live begins at the core—your heart. Want to live with a heart that has been changed, freed, healed, and renewed? It’s time to get to the heart of the matter!

The book of James has been called at times "The Proverbs of the New Testament" because of its practical nature in how to "do life" with God. Do you ever struggle with things like trials and temptations, faith, favoritism, your tongue, pride, quarrels, slander, prayer and how to be patient in suffering? Then you've come to the right place! James confronts all these and more head on and in this power-packed letter to believers.

Do you get tired and discouraged feeling that you will never live up to God's standards? Do you want to know God in a deeper more intimate way? Then this study is for you. Your perspective on God will be challenged along with what a relationship with God truly looks like focusing on "being" rather than "doing."

Acts 17:28 says, "In Him we live and move and have our being." What does that really look like in our everyday lives? Are you ready to "go deeper" with God? Well, then, let's get started!

This is a short study of the book of Revelation in the order that revelation was written. Its purpose is to dispel the crippling division brought on by the two major eschatological views while bringing to light this prophecy by other New Testament scripture.

Hope, God's Offer to All Mankind is the same message that God spoke to Adam and Eve in the garden. It was proclaimed by the prophets and apostles. It is a message of God's love and forgiveness and the fulfillment of His word to rescue humanity from the predicament that it is in.

Hope in the biblical sense is not based on wishful thinking. It is rooted and grounded in the integrity of God Himself. It is the only solution that humanity has.

Life on this planet seems harsh and at times meaningless. Many find an easy way to escape the realities of our condition by using drugs, alcohol, relationships, or anything else. For the most part, everything we do is an attempt to dull our senses to the misery that we see all around us and the pain that we feel deep down inside of us. It is an attempt to find solace or consolation to keep us going. We look for answers, from philosophy to comic strips, from great musical masterpieces to fine arts; no matter what the pursuit, it is an attempt to ease the pain of suffering that we are in. The rich and the super rich, the poor and the super poor, the religious and the not-so-religious all suffer from the same ailment.

Life is supposed to be better than this, but the reality is, it is not. The message of the Bible, the gospel of Jesus Christ, is the only hope for a better life.

"I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jer. 29:11 NIV)

Does God really love every single person? Am I included on God's invitation list for salvation? How can I be sure? Well, let's ask Him!

Therefore, let me assure you that, according to God's Word, God really does love you, yes, "YOU," whoever you are!

Homiletics can be done on any book of the Bible, and any chapter of the Bible. It is a way to break down the Scripture to understand it's meaning. First, as God Himself said in His Word one must have the Holy Spirit to understand the Scripture. In II Corinthians 2:14 the Lord talks about the man without the Spirit of God indwelling him or her and how they are Spiritually discerned. So, the first step in understanding God's Word is to have Him through His Holy Spirit indwelling you. The Scripture is very clear about how this is done, there is only One way. In John 14, Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man can come to the Father except through Me." Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as being God's perfect Lamb who has taken away the sin of the world is the only way one can be saved from the wrath of God and have His Spirit come to dwell within. Once you have His Holy Spirit indwelling you, then you have the One who wrote it living inside you to teach you its exact meaning and how to apply the Holy Scriptures to your life. Homiletics is an excellent way to spend time with the Father and let Him teach you his word. In doing Homiletics you will break the passage down into content, division sentences, a subject sentence, an overall aim of this passage, and then application questions to apply the Scripture to your life.

It Seems to Me was created to make the Bible more accessible to the average reader. It offers a sensible approach to the whole Bible, with the primary goal of helping people find modern paths through the ancient book. It focuses on such themes as the ancient context of the Bible, how language works, biblical images, the nature and limitations of theology, and changing understandings of reality in the search for those paths.

The primary mission of the Bible teacher is to help people feel at home in the Bible. Most people know little bits and pieces of the Bible and can quote a few verses from various passages, but often there is little understanding of the central concerns and the overarching story of the Bible. This little book is intended to help Christians move toward that understanding and discover their identity and mission as the people of God.

The church of the Bible is presented as a pattern of human life in marked contrast both to the values of secular society and to the restrictive outlook that characterizes many religious groups. The church is to be the manifestation of the biblical instruction to love God and neighbor.

Is Christ Divided? takes a penetrating look at the identity of the local church. Is it comprised of believers with a passion to worship the God of Truth and live by His purpose, following His Holy Spirit that lives inside? Or is the church a group of individuals segregated by culture, class, economics and education, following the traditions of men?

Is Christ Divided? urges the original and philosophical concept of the church advocated by the Word of God. Each chapter reveals biblical support for cooperation amongst the brethren; the local church and the para church. Containing critical research of Scripture and analysis of church history, this book will provide proof that both populations have existed since the beginning without distinction. The intent is to bridge the gap between denominations, associations, local churches, para church organizations, missions and ministries.
