Welcome to Don Kistler Ministries
Welcome to the website of Dr. Don Kistler. Dr. Kistler is a Bible teacher and author. If there is a theme to this website, it is “Doctrine Matters.” As the Puritans would often say, “Theology is the art of living well to God.” Proper theology should culminate in proper conduct and practice, or, “Orthodoxy leads to orthopraxy.” We will not live any better than our theology; we may not live as well as our theology, but we will never live any better.
Here we hope you will find teaching that will influence and guide your decisions, choices, and behavior. Since theology is about God, it is imminently practical by its very nature. The more we know God, the more we will seek to imitate Him and the more we will please Him.

Don Kistler is a shrewd, down-to-earth exponent of classical Reformed convictions about Christian belief and behavior. The burden of his ministry is to apply these convictions realistically for the purging and enriching of faith and life today. I commend his ministry to all who care about the matters of his concern.

Don’s knowledge of Reformed and, especially, Puritan theology is extensive and precise. In addition, he is an articulate person, lively in communication. Don Kistler is a line-on-line preacher of God’s Word, and many of his one-liners are superb!

I have been impressed with Don’s teaching ability and the depth of the lessons. He could not have plumbed those depths of spiritual discernment without plumbing some great depths of human suffering first.

Don Kistler has committed himself to the old way of faithfulness to the Word of God, even though that may be unpopular and out of fashion, and delights in the preaching and teaching of the gospel. I have listened to him with profit to my soul as he opened, explained, and applied the truths of Holy Scripture.
