  The Training of the Heart - A...

  The nature of our heart is such that whenever it clings and grasps there is agitation and confusion. First it might wander over there, then it might wander over here. When we come to observe this agitation, we might think that it’s impossible to train the heart and so we suffer accordingly. We don’t understand that this is the way the heart is. There will be thought and feelings moving about like this even though we are practicing, trying to attain peace. That’s the way it is. 
   
  When we have contemplated many times the nature of the heart, then we will come to understand that this heart is just as it is and can’t be otherwise. We will know that the heart’s ways are just as they are. That’s its nature. If we see this clearly, then we can detach from thoughts and feelings. And we don’t have to add on anything more by constantly having to tell ourselves that ”that’s just the way it is”. When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything. Thinking and feeling will still be there, but that very thinking and feeling will be deprived of power.

  In Behold! The Bridegroom Cometh! Paul Bibbs helps everyday believers, as well as knowledgeable eschatology students, to discover the readiness associated with the Bride of Christ. In the book of Matthew, Jesus states those who were ready went with Him into the marriage. In Revelation, John states the Lamb's wife made herself ready. Paul's goal is to define what it means to be ready and show that it takes more than just knowing Jesus as Savior to participate in the rapture. He explains what it means to blaspheme the Holy Spirit to help Christians avoid committing the unpardonable sin in the end-times. Contact pbibbsministries@mail.com

  The Field Guide for Small Group...

  The Field Guide for Small Group Leaders provides basic training and support to help small group leaders succeed in the critical mission of leading others toward spiritual growth and transformation. 
  The premise of serving as a small group leader sounds simple: Invite people to join you in studying the Bible. But the real-world implications of that role are incredibly complex. Today's small group leaders are asked to function as semi-experts in theology, psychology, evangelism, worship, apologetics, counseling, education, and nutrition--all in service to God and His church. Most of today's group leaders receive little or no training on how to carry out this important work. They are told to "Go and make disciples," then left to figure out the details on their own. 
  Sam O'Neal (a small group leader himself), wrote The Field Guide for Small Group Leaders to help fellow leaders navigate this confusion and map out a plan for successful, transformational, and rewarding meetings. The Field Guide provides helpful information on:Curriculum and planning.Learning styles.Icebreakers and learning activities.Crafting discussion questions.Worship and prayer.What to do when things don't go as planned.And more. 
  Whether you lead a small group, life group, or Sunday school class, this guide will give you confidence and practical tools for fostering meaningful connections, genuine community, and spiritual growth that so many are desperate for.
