PCU Magazine

Welcome to the inaugural issue of PCU Magazine!

The goal of PCU is to build people. With this goal in mind, you will find interviews, articles and short commentaries.

Special events will also be announced and reported about in this online magazine. This includes outreach activities, special guest speakers and teaching series available to students and usually the public.

In the future we plan to cover alumni activities. We intend to keep you abreast about where our alumni have gone and what great things they are doing for the Kingdom of God.

PCU Student Interview
of Harold Kuha, 11-28-07

Mag: Why do you attend classes at PCU?
HK: Really to get the Word into me. I'm going to school as a Bible study. But unlike a home Bible study it's an opportunity to be taught the Word in a academic and systematic way.

Mag: How do you think others are being blessed by you attending PCU?
HK: I think the Lord is pleased when we are eager to learn about Him. I really look forward to learning about the Lord through PCU. Group participation creates blessings for all involved. The social aspect is a blessing for me, I'm sure for others also.

Mag: What do you think about the future effects of you going to PCU?
HK: There will be things I don't think I could have learned about the Word in any other way that will have an impact on my life and major decisions I make. I base my life on the Bible so this training really helps me to reach my goal.

Seed Faith Commentary
by Dr. Esther Van Rensburg 11-24-07

Mark 4 and Luke 8 describe "Seed Faith" concepts. They state that the Kingdom of God is like a man who sows seed on the ground. When explaining this parable Jesus said that the seed of God is God's word. The entire Kingdom of God operates by seed time and harvest. God's word will always work but we need to plant it in our hearts. Every word is is light, life giving seed, a life force. When you quote a scripture you are planting seed and you will get a harvest.

Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing the Word of God." This could be reworded "Faith comes by having the seed." In this seed is the faith we need to produce harvests of blessings. There is miraculous power in the Word of God.

We don't need to know the process, but God does. Speak His word, seed faith. Mark 4:28 ... the earth produces by itself. Since it yields by itself we can sleep.

All you have to do is have a good heart. Our soil, our hearts, need to be good ground. Keep your heart pliable, forgive and keep on doing this to prevent hardness from setting in. Also keep thoughts of anger toward God out of your heart.

In Romans 4:21 it says that Abraham was fully persuaded that God was able to do what He promised. Be fully persuaded like Abraham and you will reap a harvest. Mark 11:22-24 says "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." If you have faith you can say it. If you have God's word you can say it.

Plant your seed, then you may need to wait. But don't grow weary. Sow your seed and then don't worry.

Profound and Pithy
by Dr. Nick Van Rensburg 11-24-07

Scripture says that God watches over His word to perform it. So send your seed (the Word of God) out on assignment. Speak God's word regarding your situation and God will watch over it to perform it.
