VOL. 3, NO. 2 AUGUST 2006 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A word from the president… AUGUST 2006 Dear alumni and friends, Campbellsville University is 100 years old, and we want you to join us in the Centennial Celebration, which will be held throughout the 2006-07 academic year. The theme for the year-long celebration is taken from our Centennial Campaign, “Transforming a New Generation: A Journey of Faith.” Christian faith and commitment to learning were the cornerstones on which the school was founded a century ago. Today, it is with that same commitment that we find dedicated Dr. Michael V. Carter faculty, staff and coaches working faithfully to provide the finest in Christian higher education. Campbellsville University’s history can be found in two beautiful volumes that commemorate our 100 years of Christian education. The first volume details the rich life and workings of Russell Creek Academy “ I think you will and moves to Campbellsville University today. It is authored by Dr. J. Chester Badgett, long-time member of the Campbellsville University Board of Trustees. The second volume is a wonderful pictorial history, which provides a beautiful overview of life along The Maple Trail. Both volumes are available in the University enjoy this year Barnes and Noble Bookstore located in the Davenport Student Commons Building. For information on how to purchase these books, see the Centennial insert. Both are a tribute to the men and women who have as we reflect sacrificed to bring Campbellsville University to this point in her remarkable history. Campbellsville University commissioned artist Billie Sue Kibbons, a 1975 graduate, to produce a Centennial painting of the university. The painting will be unveiled at the opening chapel/convocation and Centennial on and offer kickoff Wednesday, Aug. 30. Commemorative prints will be made available of the painting. It was in 2001 that Campbellsville University took bold steps to create a new Strategic Plan based on an gratitude for updated Mission Statement and Core Values. Out of this plan a Centennial Campaign was realized and embraced by the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and students. Today, we have completed Phase I, a $35 million campaign, and have realized that a second phase must be pursued. In January 2006, the Board all of those of Trustees voted to expand the campaign an additional $15 million in order to achieve the educational goals that are a must for students as they prepare for graduate study, enter the global marketplace and seek to who have gone follow Jesus Christ. We feel this commitment to Phase II is essential if Campbellsville University is to continue her path of preparing faithful Christian servant-leaders who are willing to make a difference for Jesus Christ in our world. I hope everyone will pray for and become involved in Phase II of our campaign. before us.” This special Centennial issue of the Campbellsvillian catalogs many of the activities and events that will take place throughout this year. I hope you will attend as many of these as possible. A special series of Centennial gifts and commemorative items will be available as we celebrate this special time in our history. DR. MICHAEL V. CARTER I think you will enjoy this year as we reflect on and offer gratitude for all of those who have gone before us. PRESIDENT Our Centennial Celebration only happens once! This is a special time to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates and to appreciate the Christian mission of Campbellsville University. Our bright future would not be possible without our rich past. As we enter into this time of celebration may we do so with a deep sense of appreciation. I hope you will pray for the students who are attending Campbellsville University this year. This fall over 2,200 will take classes. Pray for our faculty, staff and coaches as they seek to be the men and women God is calling them to be. Your faithful prayer support, your good words and your steadfast financial support are transforming lives at Campbellsville University through a journey of faith. May God bless you and Campbellsville University on her 100th birthday! Most cordially, Michael V.

    VOL. 6, NO. 2 NOVEMBER 2008 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… NOVEMBER 2008 Dear alumni and friends, We begin a new school year with thankful hearts! For the second year in a row Campbellsville University has received the high ranking of 22nd best among the South’s baccalaureate colleges by U.S.News & World Report, and for the 17th consecutive semester, we have a record enrollment. According to the latest numbers, CU has just reached a total of 2,601 students. It is our heartfelt goal that many of these students will be successful and eventually join the over 10,000 CU alumni around the world. What a force for good. We are thankful, too, that CU is nearing the completion of our $50 million Centennial Capital Campaign, and the expanded base of support has been very encouraging. We will need the continuing financial support of the growing number of Campbellsville University friends as we move forward. The challenge guiding us as we enter the second century can be summed up in two words, “quo vadis,” as spoken so eloquently by president emeritus Dr. Randy Davenport at our Heritage Day chapel service. Quo vadis—the Latin phrase first documented in the Bible when Peter asked of Jesus, “Where are you going?”—applies to our work on the new “vision for the second century” which is being prepared by the Vision Committee. As we fine-tune the vision of where CU is going for the second century and the next campaign, we are challenged to create the blueprint for the next ten to 20 years and beyond.

  • Baptist Gun Giveaway

    Baptist Gun Giveaway

    Baptist gun giveaway Kentucky Baptists use gun giveaways to lure unchurched to Christ Andrew Wolfson The Courier-Journal Feb. 28, 2014 In an effort its spokesman has described as "outreach to rednecks," the Kentucky Baptist Convention is leading "Second Amendment Celebrations," where churches around the state give away guns as door prizes to lure in non-believers in hopes of converting them to Christ. Chuck McAlister uses the love of guns and hunting in Kentucky as a “bridge to unchurched men so they will hear what we have to say.” As many as 1,000 people are expected at the next one, on Thursday at Lone Oak Baptist Church in Paducah, where they will be given a free steak dinner and the chance to win one of 25 handguns, long guns and shotguns. The goal is to "point people to Christ," the church says in a flier. Chuck McAlister, an ex-pastor, master storyteller and former Outdoor Channel hunting show host who presides at the events as the Kentucky Baptist Convention's team leader for evangelism, said 1,678 men made "professions of faith" at about 50 such events last year, most of them in Kentucky. In Louisville, he said, more than 500 people showed up on a snowy January day for a gun giveaway at Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, and 61 made decisions to seek salvation. ADVERTISING McAlister's boss, Paul Chitwood, the Kentucky Baptist Convention's executive director, says such results speak for themselves. "It's been very effective," he said in an interview. But other clergy question what guns and gun rights have to do with with sharing the Gospel.

  • The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand

    The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand

    The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission | Here We Stand As evangelical Christians, we dissent from the court’s ruling that redefines marriage. The state did not create the family, and should not try to recreate the family in its own image. We will not capitulate on marriage because biblical authority requires that we cannot. The outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage represents what seems like the result of a half-century of witnessing marriage’s decline through divorce, cohabitation, and a worldview of almost limitless sexual freedom. The Supreme Court’s actions pose incalculable risks to an already volatile social fabric by alienating those whose beliefs about marriage are motivated by deep biblical convictions and concern for the common good. The Bible clearly teaches the enduring truth that marriage consists of one man and one woman. From Genesis to Revelation, the authority of Scripture witnesses to the nature of biblical marriage as uniquely bound to the complementarity of man and woman. This truth is not negotiable. The Lord Jesus himself said that marriage is from the beginning (Matt. 19:4-6), so no human institution has the authority to redefine marriage any more than a human institution has the authority to redefine the gospel, which marriage mysteriously reflects (Eph. 5:32). The Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage demonstrates mistaken judgment by disregarding what history and countless civilizations have passed on to us, but it also represents an aftermath that evangelicals themselves, sadly, are not guiltless in contributing to. Too often, professing evangelicals have failed to model the ideals we so dearly cherish and believe are central to gospel proclamation.
