Spiritual warfare is real in the academy. For 23 years I have travelled abroad taught on three continents the scriptures about spiritual warfare, but it is only in North America in the Christian academic halls that it is rejected and frowned upon. Why? Because the evil one does not want the church to be equipped for the work of the ministry, pride in our schools keeps the doctrine of spiritual warfare from being taught on our campuses (II Cor.4:3).
This book is A biographical excerpt from the life of Dr. Angulus D. Wilson, PhD, minister of the Gospel, and what He does as the University Pastor, and Dean of the Chapel for Fresno Pacific University. His journey entails, traveling from the mean streets of Los Angeles Ca, to the University Halls of Administration at FPU. From Jail, to International ministry and day to day logistics of soul care for 3700 people, this leader has learned the secrets of spiritual formation. Hear ye him
Man, in all his foolishness will try to take complete advantage of God and all the blessings that he gives. And every time God blesses the foolish they squander it, or lose it, and then they want God to replace it or give them some more. (Do you know anybody like this?) Humanity say's: -God, I messed up my first husband and now I need another one, will you help a sister out? -God I'm sorry I started this war across the sea, can you get me out of it? -God, I smoked up my first set of lungs and now I need another pair, can you help a brother out? -God, I gambled away my good looks, can you hook a brother up? -God, I lost my first family, can I get another one? This text helps us to see that we as humans are users and if we are not careful we will try and use God. They wanted to use Jesus to supply their "bellies need".
I got a concern today, about our Nation: I am concerned because among the post modern movement there appears to be a buffet of spiritual nourishment but upon close examination what is being served is nothing but junk food, spoiled left over dishes and food that is not fit to serve our family dog named "lucy". I have several unanswered questions, and they are as follows: 1. Where are all of the Soul Physicians, the Chefs of eternal things? 2. Where are those who are called to prepare the Lords Table in the famine? 3. Who's responsible for cooking up the meals for the soul in this Nation? 4. How can a Nation as great as ours, be so malnourished when it comes to the word of God? 5. Is any one on watch? 6. Is any one spending time laboring over the pot, watching and guarding the ingredients that are being mixed into the food for our souls? I got a concern today, and my heart is heavy for the people of our country. Make no bones about it; America is in a famine, A Soul Food Dilemma. We need good Food that will feed and nourish people filling them up with the truth from God's word. We don't need another book about why the post modern culture is so hard to reach, or why the postmodern culture has lost their way We know they have lost their way, we know they are hard to reach. What they need is authentic preaching and teaching, "Good Soul Food" to fill up their souls with the spiritual manna from heaven. (Can I get and amen?)
