About Word Pictures

FROM CrossTV/Word Pictures:

People are tired of a mock, pseudo, superficial Christianity. They’re realizing that…despite all the hype and emotion up front...in the final analysis, much of modern Christianity is nothing more than a “form of Godliness…without the power.” (2 Timothy 3:5) Yet...there is a new, God-sent thirst and hunger amongst a relatively small (but rapidly growing) remnant of people, to experience, know, love, obey, suffer for and serve the one, true, living God with all their hearts, souls, minds and strength.

And those same people want a true, straight talking, plain speaking, “don't tell me what you think I want to hear, tell me what I need to hear,” biblically accurate interpretation and exposition of God’s Word. They want to know what God wants us to know, the way He wants us to know it.

And people have grown weary of being hit up for money, or given “fluff” in place of doctrine, or having their intelligence insulted or placated in the name of Christianity. The result has been a genuine longing for the preaching and teaching that the Spurgeons and Wesleys and Edwards’ of yesteryear were renowned for.

Product Info

FROM CrossTV/Word Pictures:

How can you determine whether someone is correctly interpreting God’s Word? In a day and age when there are over 1000 Christian Denominations, and literally thousands of cults, (and everybody seems to have a different interpretation of scripture), that’s not an insignificant question. So how do you know? In a word: Hermeneutics. Which is just a fancy word for the science of biblical interpretation. And as Hank Hannegraaff, President of C.R.E. (a group dedicated to challenging cultic and heretical teaching) put it: “The best antidote to heretical teaching is a good hermeneutical training.”

Do you want to learn how to spot error, and rightly interpret scripture…for yourself? This is the most precise and complete series on that subject of its kind. Find out more at http://www.crosstv.com/

Personal Video Book FAQ

Q: Can I skip forward and backward in the video presentations?
A: Yes, you can navigate by clicking in the table of contents (which keeps current with where you are in the video), by entering a time in the active index window, or by pulling the slider bar. Play, pause, and stop buttons are also available. See screenshot at right.

Q: Can I project these videos on a screen or TV for my Sunday school class?
A: No. Personal Video Books are digitized at a size (approximately 312 x 240 pixels) and resolution that looks great on your monitor (see the demo) but is not suitable for public viewing. They are intended for personal use, as an aid to your biblical studies. To increase the size of the video to full screen, double-click it during playback. Be aware that the videos were designed for playback at approximately 312 x 240 pixels, so the resolution quality will be diminished in full screen mode.

If you're running Libronix DLS v3.0 or greater, here are instructions on enabling full screen playback for CrossTV videos you may already own: http://www.logos.com/support/lbs/crosstv

Q: What do I need to play back this video?
A: You simply need Libronix DLS and a DVD drive on your computer. If you have enough space, you could copy the files to your hard drive...but we anticipate that most users will run them from the DVD disc. The videos are not currently available on CD-ROM and they are not for use in combination with your television and standard DVD player.

Q: There are 2 DVD-ROM Discs, how do I move between episodes on each disc?
A: If your computer has the extra hard drive space (the 2 dual layer DVD-ROMs contain approximately 9GB of data), then we recommend that you copy the files to your hard drive. This makes it easy to move between files because you won't have to switch the DVD's in and out of your computer, which is the other option if you don't want to copy all the files.

Episode Guide

Demo Clips

We offer two demo videos from the A Workman Approved By God series. The first is a 2:19 minute video, featuring a cinematic clip from the series and narrator Mark Kielar's statement of purpose for the video series. In the second, shorter 0:45 second clip, Kielar describes what happens to God's Word when it is misinterpreted, a great basis for describing the importance of the rest of the series.

There are 3 options for each demo: a Flash version for easy web viewing, a high-resolution version that is similar to the quality you will see in Libronix, and a low-resolution version for those with slower connection speeds, for demo purposes only.
