SAVING SOUL, NOT JUST SAVING SOULS, IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY & FULLER SEMINARY NEWS: this BEGAN as a defense of SOUL blog, and it STILL is, but I am also adding FULLER SEMINARY NEWS to this blog...albeit remember that some of the soul unbelievers are teaching at fuller seminary (ie nancey murphy et al). This blog is not necessarily a defense of Fuller Seminary...just commentary on what is happening. Not everybody is a soul unbeliever at Fuller Seminary.

Kelley says, "It caught the attention of all of the leaders in the area, particularly the witch doctor, who had tried many times to heal this individual, but to no avail. But God healed him through the power of the Holy Spirit. Now both of these villages in northern Nigeria, near the border of Niger, are 100% Christian. It's just an unbelievable experience for us here at Unknown Nations."

"The Megiddo Mosaic was found in the Jezreel Valley where Christians believe the final battle of the Biblical Armageddon in the Book of Revelations will occur.

This is why we mustn't forget our agenda. Jesus said to preach the gospel to every creature. This is because the gospel is the power of God to salvation. It not only saves from wrath, but it has the power to transform sin-loving sinners so that they love righteousness."

"Here's what Nancy posted on Facebook this past Saturday (be sure to click on the link to see all the pictures!): "Started working yesterday (Fri 11th) with Samaritans Purse in Spruce Pine NC. What an amazing organization! So completely God centered and wonderfully organized. They pray with all the homeowners as well as give out bibles in addition to working extremely hard all day long in the muck and the mire. And these are not just perfunctory prayers. These are deeply expressed and heartfelt….. many times with tears. We even had a little worship service at the various sites. This is a completely Christ centered organization and if you want to donate or volunteer somewhere, this is the place where your money and your body will be put to work big time!"
Prayer for POTUS Trump
Be strong & bold, don't be dismayed
The Lord is with you, don't be afraid
Wherever you walk, His light will shine
Guiding your steps, His will divine
Fear NOT the storm, nor dark of night
For God's own hand will lead you right

Ode to Life 🙏✝️👶👼🤱👨🍼👩🍼🧑🍼
(https://x.com/PRAISETRIUNEGOD/status/1843703365748044236?t=pMHLI2hsizvi7Wb7PGWJUg&s=03)
🙏✝️🤎👶👼🤱👨🍼👩🍼🧑🍼
From the moment of conception's spark,
A life begins, though small & stark.
A precious soul, so pure & new,
A gift from God✝️, both bright & true.
In the womb, God knows their name,
Each tiny heartbeat💓 ,not the same.
In His image, they are made,
With love so deep, it will not fade.
Before their eyes 👀 have seen the day,
God has planned their every way.
Innocence wrapped in tender form,
A miracle within the storm.
Their hands are small, their hearts so light,
They are precious in His sight.
Each child a wonder, life divine,
God's perfect ⭐work, His grand design.
He knew them long before their birth,
Each baby carries endless worth.
With purpose woven into time,
A life ordained by hands sublime.
How can we then ignore the plea,
To guard them with sincerity?
To shield the innocent from harm,
And cradle them within our arms?
For they are souls with futures bright,
Created for His holy light.
The Lord commands us to defend,
The unborn 🕊️ life He longs to mend.
So let us stand for those unseen,
For every child, both pure & clean.
In love, protect them from all strife,
For in God's eyes, they carry life.
Each baby's worth is more than gold,
A treasure that cannot be sold.
To save, to love, to nurture too,
For every life, God calls on You
🙏✝️🤎👶👼🤱👨🍼👩🍼🧑🍼

Trump's thoughts about corrupt debate moderator Linsey Davis are my thoughts about Nancey Murphy
"The former president also took a swipe at the co-moderator Linsey Davis, who provided the first fact-check of the debate against him.
"I never heard of her. I never want to hear of her. She was terrible. I don't know how she ever got her job in the first place," Trump said. "But we have a country to save, and we can't have fake news like that. And his ratings deserve to go down."

live update: Kamala is doing almost AS BAD as Joe did at the last debate versus Trump. It is very pathetic & sad. She is unable to defend herself with solid policies and plans. I don't see how she can continue after this. But who else do they got? They have no other choice at this point.

one of the problems at Fuller Seminary is that
one of the problems at Fuller Seminary is that if one person on the faculty does something unethical, the rest of the faculty and staff will support the person regardless of the facts. They think of themselves as a "team" committed to one another. You may say, "This is a good thing"; but what about the victim ? Students come here from ALL OVER the WORLD (literally) with expectations of the BEST CONDUCT by Fuller faculty & staff, rightly so. If one professor goes ROGUE the rest of the faculty should take a stand against such a professor, rather than join forces against the student (victim). Otherwise Fuller is nothing more than just BIG BUSINESS , with professors making handsome salaries and speaking eloquent "God talk". We pray for some introspection at Fuller: ethics & morality are paramount ! Sure, you can get away with less than your best; there's not much way to held you accountable. Trust me, I know. I tried. BUT GOD WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE !

DIED 2010, FULLER ALUM "Obituaries: Elizabeth Ann 'Betsy' Edwards, 69, missionary and teacher, dies in Kabul, Afghanistan"
""One thing we do know—she went home to Jesus doing what she loved…serving the people and especially the women of Afghanistan whom she loved dearly," noted Pastor Don Beacham of Grace Community Church, Arlington, TX.
https://www.nj.com/independentpress/2010/03/obituaries_elizabeth_ann_betsy.html
(Nancey married somebody 27 years older?) did NANCEY CLAIRE MURPHY retire in 2017 ? Hoping so.
but the Fuller Sem website suggests she's still there
(unless they do this for every
elderly professor until they die)
FOUND THIS AT
https://www.academia.edu/35350861/Symposium_in_Honor_of_Nancey_C_Murphy
(anyways, whatever the case may be, the kind words spoken about here do NOT REFLECT the Nancey I "knew" when I was there. In fact, upon arrival at Fuller I had NEVER HEARD OF her name before. And I did NOT request to be in her class. My advisor just suggested it and it was a required class to complete my M.Div so I said "sure, why not". Apparently me not knowing who she was or is INFURIATED HER and she made sure I knew who she was by the end of the class by employing unprofessional if not illegal classroom behavior (which is partly why I sued Fuller Seminary ex post facto). The Nancey Murphy I "knew" from sitting thru a quarter of classes is a very petty person who is arrogant and a prima donna . I did not experience a kind and thoughtful person whatsoever. But I will leave it at that for now.
A FEW FACTS: NANCEY WAS
BORN IN 1951 also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancey_Murphy
HER late husband James McClendon Jr
was born in 1924 & died in 2000 .
He was also a professor
at Fuller Seminary.
also see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_William_McClendon_Jr.
THAT'S A HUGE AGE DIFFERENCE
TO SAY THE LEAST .
I will return to this for more analysis later. stay tuned.

note: I took these from Fuller's website, but the date for the 2022 AND 2021 AND 2020 commencement ceremonies looks to be the same ("June 11, 2022"). Not sure if there's a typo or what.
