Many expressed their appreciation. I cannot prove there is a God, but I choose to believe there is a God. I cannot prove “We feel greatly enriched by God through the speakers and their helpful, encouraging sessions. “Pastors need to be fed and edified. I listen to preaching tapes and go to conferences when I can, but most often cannot get away. We do not get much on the radio where we are. Most often, the only preacher I hear is me. God’s grace is certainly sufficient, but He created the Body to be interdependent. Thank you for reaching out to answer this need. “Every time I come to campus, I feel as if I am in Heaven’s political embassy on earth. I know it is because of the power of God’s presence at work there. One thing PCC has demonstrated to me—‘God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham,’ and He is able to do that for fundamentalism. He does not need those institutions which are fast departing from Him. “We will continue to encourage young people to seek the Lord about attending PCC. We know of no better place for them.” —Pastor, KS “The Bible Conference preaching was a tremendous blessing. God used the sermons to do a real and lasting work in my heart. The effect on me was colossal. My life was changed at PCC, and I desire to see the same happen for other young people.” —Youth Director, AL • He is the God of the Bible, but I believe He is. • God created all things, but I believe He created all things. • Jesus is God, but I believe Jesus is God. I cannot prove • there is a heaven and a hell, but I believe that both exist. • Jesus died for my sins, but I believe that He did. • the original autographs of the Bible were inspired, but I believe God breathed every word. I cannot prove • God has preserved His inspired Word for us today, but I believe that He preserved every jot and tittle. • my Authorized Version is His inspired Word in the English language, but I believe it is. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand . . .” — Heb. 11:1–3. 4 PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 If you want a model for What the Little Guy Can Do begin with the Gablers M el Gabler is not a household name, yet he had more influence in shaping recent American life than most people realize. He and his wife Norma stood in the gap for over four decades, battling the public schools’ textbook establishment. Time and again, the Gablers inflicted enormous financial losses on textbook firms until the publishers learned to have the Gablers approve their textbooks in advance. The Gablers lived in Longview, TX, a small, blue-collar town that was once the center of the Texas oil boom. In 1961, they began to read their son’s history and social science textbooks. The more they read, the angrier they became. They decided to publicly challenge the poorly written, poorly researched textbooks. This was possible because a public school State Textbook Committee approves all texts in Texas. Texas buys so many textbooks that a book not on the Committee’s approved list is basically worthless nationally. Thus, when the Committee vetoes a textbook, the publisher must scrap it or revise it. In the early 1970s, when the Gablers’ protests were gaining credibility, only five books per subject got on the approved list. The waiting period for the next round of texts was up to six years causing publishers hundreds of thousands of dollars in unrecoverable costs. A book that failed in Texas became a target of scrutiny in other states. The economic pain of a veto was intense — and still is. The Gablers were different than many parents. When they joined the PTA in 1961, they began reading their children’s assignments. Mel was skeptical when their oldest son complained about his American history textbook, but he agreed to read it. Not only did this change Mel and Norma’s lives, but it also changed the way textbook publishers do business. Mel and Norma spent decades reading textbooks and witnessing the decline in accuracy and morality after 1960. Their story appears in the book, Textbooks on Trial (1976). They began by using local radio and direct mail prior to Norma appearing before the Committee. Their initial publicity got the Committee’s attention, and her yearly Committee appearances kept it. The Gablers became two of the most skilled media attention-grabbers in Texas — especially Norma. In 1973, she read a fifth grade U.S. history textbook that devoted almost seven pages to Marilyn Monroe and only a few sentences to George Washington. Norma gained national headlines when she said, “We’re not quite ready for Marilyn Monroe as the mother of our country.” Each year, the Gablers went to the Committee, sent out mailings, and called local radio stations. Decade by decade, their audience grew: 60 Minutes, 20/20, ABC World News Tonight, Nightline, Good Morning America, Time, Newsweek, Reader’s Areas that Gablers monitored — • • • • Scientific flaws in arguments for evolution Phonics-based reading instruction Principles and benefits of free enterprise Original intent of the U.S. Constitution • Respect for Judeo-Christian morals • Emphasis on abstinence in sex education • Politically-correct degradation of academics Digest, People, etc. Their book, What Are They Teaching Our Children? became a textbook for those who sought to reform public education and those who pulled their children out of public schools. Their non-profit organization, Educational Research Analysts, became a clearinghouse for information on problems with America’s public school textbooks. The Gabler’s warehouse is the best place in the U.S. for researchers to trace the history of the decline in textbook standards. Its shelves are filled with inferior textbooks. Also, their web site documents what public schools promote academically. The Gablers hit the textbook establishment where it hurts most — the pocketbook. They inflicted financial pain on publishers of inferior textbooks, and authors resented revising their textbooks. This will continue because the Gablers’ research assistant, Neal Frey, will continue monitoring publishers as he has for the past two decades. Mel fell, and two days later went home to be with the Lord Dec. 19, ’04. —Adapted from “Mel Gabler, RIP”: Gary North Dr. Dave Young teaching Evangelism Seminar Preparing for the Pastorate P CC provides a firm biblical foundation for every Bible major. The pastoral ministry major includes intensive book studies from Genesis to Revelation along with Greek and Hebrew. The faculty integrate Bible truth with academic and spiritual application, giving students a love for the Word and a servant’s heart. Pastor Colan Deatheridge (’94, M’96), pastor of Pocatello Baptist Church, ID, says, “The greatest tools Intern preaching in a local church 6 PCC UPDATE SUMMER 2005 PCC provided me were the emphasis on biblical study and biblical languages.” The 400 students in the weekly Ministerial Seminar hear seasoned pastors share their wisdom and experience. Campus Church pastor Jim Schettler covers practical topics such as weddings, baptisms, the Lord’s Supper, biblical counseling, etc. The Campus Church, a local independent Baptist church planted in a college setting, provides a model of faithfulness to biblical truth, a Ministerial Seminar (speaker—Dr. Shelton Smith) servant’s spirit, and solid preaching. Pastoral majors are involved in visitation, teaching Sunday school, choir / orchestra, Master Clubs, and youth group in the Campus Church. Pastor Phil Green (’99) said, “The Campus Church ministry was a great blessing to me. I was exposed to many aspects of the ministry because a local church was intricately connected to my education.” Ministerial students also serve in 26 area churches, and last summer 59 ministerial students served as interns in churches across America. Pastoral ministry majors take the Church Planting Seminar taught by guest pastors and church planting leaders. Several PCC grads are now planting churches in various areas of the nation. Hundreds of PCC grads serve as pastors, assistant pastors, and youth directors. It is exciting to hear how the pastoral ministry graduates are serving God. Prospective intern talking with local pastor Dr. Jerald Manley Ministerial Class—fall ’04 PCC UPDATE SUMMER 2005 7 Students Enjoy Road-trip to PCC P astor Chris Atkinson of Meriden Hills Baptist Church, CT, takes students in his church and area to and from PCC each semester. In 2000, he and his church family saw the need to buy a bus to help students get to Pensacola Christian College. They want their college-age youth to be trained in a dedicated, Christian college to serve the Lord in the vocation that God has for them. At first, Pastor Atkinson and his wife Nancy were the only drivers with commercial drivers’ licenses. Now PCC student Joe Richello and two adults from the church drive. Students assemble at the church at Pastor Chris Atkinson 11 a.m. on Friday and are on the road (PCC grad) and family by noon. The trip usually takes 24 hours. “The bus is really comfortable,” says Kelly Crowley (SR). The time goes by quickly for the students as they play games and enjoy fellowship with students and drivers. Students from other area churches also ride the bus each semester. One freshman comments that she already had new friends from the bus trip when she came to PCC her first semester. “One guy had a webcam, and I got to interview everybody on the bus to document the trip,” says Dave Massa (FR). Students also enjoy the endof-semester trip. “On the way home we catch up on each others’ year at PCC,” says Emily Greenwood (JR). Jason Allard (FR) appreciates “Pastor Atkinson’s vision to start the ministry to help students get to PCC.” And Tammy Crowley (JR) says, “The Atkinsons make the trip special. They make it feel like home.” 8 PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” T he doctrine of the trinity of God is introduced in Genesis when God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”— Gen. 1:26. The plural pronouns (us, our, and our) reveal God as a holy trinity — one God in three Persons. “The Lord our God is one Lord”— Deut. 6:4. God is one, yet He is in three Persons equal in power. The three Persons of the Godhead are: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three Persons of the Trinity were active in creation. “In the beginning God (the Father) created the heaven and the earth . . . . And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters”— Gen. 1:1–2. The NT refers to God the Son in creation, “For by him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him”— Col. 1:16. Man—in the image of God “God created man in his own image”— Gen. 1:27. Of all the creation, only man was created in the image of God. The trinity of man best helps us understand the Triune God. Adam, created as a trinity, had three parts: body, soul, and spirit. “I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”— I Thess. 5:23. Yet Adam was only one man, not three, even as God is one God. Three parts of man 1. The visible body houses the soul and spirit until the body dies. Death occurs when the soul and spirit depart from the body. The Old Testament refers to death by saying the person “gave up the ghost” — Gen. 25: 8, 17; 35:29. 2. The invisible soul includes the mind, emotions, and will. We might say it is the real “you.” The soul is immortal, which means that after the body dies, the soul lives on forever, either in heaven or in hell, and that depends on whether the person trusted Christ as Savior. At death, the believer’s soul and spirit go to live with God, “to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord”—II Cor. 5:8. Lazarus “was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom”—Luke 16:22. Jesus said to the thief on the cross, “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise” —Luke 23:43. 3. The invisible spirit is the person’s link or connection with God. It is the part of man that was made for communion with God. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” — John 4:24. When Adam sinned, his spirit died, and he was cut off from fellowship with God. Yet Adam lived to be 930 years old. Spiritual death in hell is the destiny of all who do not trust Christ as Savior. Jesus said, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish (hell), but have everlasting life (heaven)” — John 3:16. New birth gives spiritual life After Adam’s sin, each person is born into the world spiritually dead with no communion with God. For man’s spirit to live, he must be born again. Jesus said to the religious leader Nicodemus, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” —John 3:3. For man’s immortal soul to enter heaven, he must have a new birth. That means, the spirit of God must quicken (bring to life) his dead spirit in order for him to have communion with God and to have eternal life. 쮿 PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 9 ! y a r o Ho for PCC 10 PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 Intercollegiate Sports Eagles Basketball Coach Mark Goetsch Eagles basketball players compete in 11 home games and 19 away games per season.

PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 11 Offic P C C ’s O f f i ce Ad m i n i s t r a t i o n Pro g r a m ADMINISTRATION A n effective administrative assistant (new title for many secretaries) needs experience using today’s technology along with basic office skills. Students in PCC’s office programs develop keyboarding, transcription, and speedwriting skills as well as office efficiency and character traits to work competently in both Christian ministries and secular businesses. Several choices of emphasis are offered — a bachelor’s degree in legal, medical, and general office administration; or an associate degree in legal, medical, and general office systems. Four-year office administration programs prepare students to be both office managers and executive assistants. Students receive advanced training in computer software and emphasis-specific topics. The skills learned in verbal and written communication courses develop vital managerial skills for teamwork and customer / employee relations. Legal office program: Students receive legal knowledge through business law, legal terminology, and legal transcription. Stacy Kaetterhenry (’03 grad), hired 12 PCC UPDATE 왖 SUMMER 2005 by a Ft. Lauderdale law firm, says, “I cannot begin to tell you all the compliments I’ve received from coworkers. When they saw my work and efficiency, they couldn’t believe I had never worked in a legal office.” Stephanie (McCollum) Winkles (’96 grad), assists the managing partner at a Boca Raton firm that represents more institutional investors in securities and corporate litigation than any other firm in the U.S. The medical office program offers many opportunities in a doctor’s office, hospital, or medical transcription company—either on site or at home. Students learn medical terminology, transcription, and insurance coding and billing. After taking staffing placement tests, Amy Fuhrman (’02 grad) says, “They called five times in a few days to convince me I was needed right away for a position they had been unable to find someone qualified enough to fill.” Nicole (VanderSluis) Moss (’04 grad) transcribes physicians’ dictation while working at home for a medical transcription company. General office program—whether in bachelor or associate programs, students receive a solid background in office skills. Graduates can work in virtually any office position and also have unique ministry opportunities. A Christian administrative assistant can work in many nations closed to missionaries but open to those with professional skills. Office administration major Rachel Deford (SR) completed a summer practicum at a bank in Perry, Iowa. Her supervisor said Rachel’s thorough education made her very successful in the office. Two-year office systems programs prepare students to be administrative assistants through training in computer software, keyboarding, and general office procedures. Both Christian and secular workplaces need people with excellent office skills. PCC’s graduates have more than a degree; they have the skills and abilities sought by employers.
