SOUL UNIVERSITY
When Moses shared the commandments of God with the Israelites in Deuteronomy Chapter 6, He said, “We are to love the Lord God with all our heart, soul and strength.” Then Jesus in Matthew, Mark and Luke adds one word to the original wording of that commandment -- MIND. Our transformation as Christians is dependent on the “renewing of our minds” (Rom.12: 2-3) in addition to engaging and assisting our culture to “have every argument, every theory, and all reasonings be made captive and obedient to Christ “ (2 Cor.10: 3&5). Our mission at SU is to challenge and inspire Christians to think Christianly so as to confidently impact and influence their immediate culture for Jesus Christ.
Thinking Christianly
Is the acknowledgement that there is something out there other than ourselves and that He has something to say about the totality of our existence which He has done through His word. How should we then live in this life which encompasses the whole spectrum of learning not just sin, salvation, end times, etc., but also science, creative writing, politics, philosophy, social theory, arts, economics, history, etc. the wholeness of our existence?
What is the Christian framework by which we make our decisions and thereby life our lives congruently with His Word?
The result of making this effort will be high impact lives, deepening of our minds and answering God’s call for a vocation.
Our hope at Soul University is that we would become as the people of Issachar- “Men who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel (their country) should do” (I Chr.12: 32).
