If you are seeking God’s will for your life, desiring to go deeper in your relationship with Him, and want to get a degree to open more doors, LCU is the place to be. 

We believe Jesus is still doing today, through His body, what He began in His own ministry while on earth. We are called to study to show ourselves approved. To be effective in ministry—from the church to the marketplace, we must continue to grow spiritually.  

 

TESTIMONIALS:

 “My LCU experience has been a “spiritual” eye opener and has heightened my walk with Christ.”

—Regina Rhodes-Steele

 

“LCU has given me the opportunity to pursue my dream and God’s will for my life! The word that we get here will change your life, and when you spread the Gospel that has been sown in you, you will be able to change someone else’s life!”

—Gavin Owens

 

“The benefits of Life Christian University (LCU) for us: When I got saved, I wanted to give my all to the Lord. And especially when I answered the call to ministry. I felt the need for accreditation, to show an effort to apply substantiation to the feelings of my heart and spirit. God knew it, but men needed to see something. LCU has given me the tools to not only undergird ministry but also my life. The school is an asset to anyone who wants to further their knowledge in the Lord. Dr. Jason Bost, Dr. Deborah Starczewski, and Dr. Mark Flory have imparted a wealth of information, wisdom, experience and friendship in helping one such as myself to grasp what it is the Lord is doing and saying to me in practical ways. I feel enriched by the experience. And to top it off, it’s affordable. My wife and I will graduate at the same time with minimal impact to our household…and debt free! Thank you LCU.” 

— Pastor Ivan & Olivia Tate 

 

 “Although I had no intention of getting a degree at Life Christian University, I thoroughly enjoyed the four years I went there. The knowledge of the Bible that I gained will forever stay with me. The instructors were all amazing and had great insight into scripture. The class discussions were also very helpful. I am glad I decided to go and get my degree at LCU in Statesville, North Carolina.”

 —Mary MacDonald, Senior Loan Officer, Towne Bank Mortgage 

 

“To God be the Glory; not only was my physical mind advanced, but transformation to my inner man…which resuscitated my heart in greater spiritual growth. Can’t wait to start back!”

—Susan Chambers

 

No matter if you are ordained as a minister or not, we are all called to be ministers, cleverly disguised in our sphere of influence, from the house of God to the marketplace, from the White House to our family, friends, and neighbors.

  —Dr. Deborah Starczewski

TAKE YOUR OWN LEAP OF FAITH TODAY!

leapoffaithYou can sow, but only God can grow. You will never discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore…”Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus” (Matthew 14:29 NASB) Without taking a risk, you will never know all God created you to be and never realize your God-given potential. #Leavealegacy #YourGiftWillMakeRoomForYou #AbundantLife #SpiritualMaturity #IdentifyYourGift #BullDogFaith

If I had not believed God, my husband would not be alive today. God raised him from death, healed him from two strokes, and two open-heart surgeries. Yes, and twenty-five days in Mercy hospital…with a stop sign at the street corner that was strategically placed by God that said:  STOP WORRYING.  Someone had gone before us and had put a sticker that said “worrying” underneath the word STOP. 111(1)

God goes to extreme measures to encourage us. Trust Him today. If I had not stepped out and asked questions, stated what God told me to say, and had the boldness to stand up—I would have been a widow.

Dare to step out and identify your gift, dream big dreams, connect with people of purpose, live large, empower people to do the same, promote other people, and live the abundant life through caring about people and obeying God. Choose to leave a legacy of knowing God and making Him known in every area of your life. 

God still raises the dead. He parted the Red Sea and He will part whatever Red Sea is facing you today. Dare to believe.

He loves you!

A HOUSE DIVIDED WILL NOT STAND

Written by Deborah. Posted in Abuse, Anger, Anxiety, Backsliding, DIVINE DESTINY, Don't be offended, Family, FEAR, FOLLOWING JESUS, Godly Associations, Gossip, Government of the Land, Grief, Guidance, Healing, HONOR AUTHORITY, JESUS IS ALIVE, Kings, Kings and Presidents, Love people, Marriage, Media, Motive, Obedience, PEACE IN TOUGH TIMES, Personal Confessions, Prayer, Presidents, Purpose, Rebellion, Relationships, Repentance, Seek God, Trust God

IMG_8191Our society is suffering from a progressive breakdown of interpersonal relationships. People are more connected than ever…and less connected in real relationships. Texting has taken over talking. Relationships have diminished and people actually spend less quality time with family and friends. People are bashing authority, taking matters into their own hands, attempting to kill people because they don’t like them, to all sorts of manipulation and evil. What on earth has happened in this nation? How did the breakdown start? What can we do to bring about change?

It’s imperative to take time to get away to spend with family and friends, or you will get caught in the crossfire of enemy tactics. Satan is afraid of what you can become in Christ…so he seeks to destroy any of us at a young age. Be encouraged….people who have been the lowest often end up the highest. The Scriptures tells us, “He who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 18:14).

There is always something you don’t know in any situation; so be careful not to assume and judge. Satan will try to get you to accuse, assume, attack, belittle, lie, and slander. He will paint a rosy picture to get you off course and it never ends well. Remember Judas. Sowing and reaping is a principle that works in the good and the bad.

David’s own father and brothers assumed he wasn’t in the lineup for God’s choice…but wow….were they wrong. The very one they thought wasn’t good enough and not even called in for the lineup, was God’s choice. See how far off assumption can get a person, and an entire family falling for their own opinions? (See 1 Samuel 16)

Satan comes to distract, deter, damage, and create doubt and duress in the lives of every believer so that we are derailed by evil tactics. Lack of respect, lack of respect for authority, and moral decay has swept through the nation. It is obvious what is happening. Satan is out to steal, kill, and destroy. 

The Bible says that we are hid in Christ (as born-again followers of Christ) and the devil cannot find us. He roars like a lion trying to get us to come out and align with him through negative confession, accusation, slander, and all sorts of evil. 

Satan comes to divide your mind against God. He will try to divide your marriage, family, friends, cities, churches, and nations. A house divided will not stand. A nation divided will not stand. When people lose their moral compass, disaster is imminent. 

The enemy wants to destroy from within. Keep your heart pure. Purity is prerequisite for power. Courage is prerequisite for impact and legacy 

Choose this day WHO you will serve —God or Satan. Determine in your heart to be the change in every situation. Determine to confess the Word of God over any and every circumstance, regardless of how it appears. Stay in alignment with God’s Word which is His will. Build your house upon the ROCK…Jesus Christ…a sure foundation. We will never improve on God’s “ancient path.” (Stand at the crossing, and consider the ancient path, that leads to Me. Walk on this path and you will find rest for your souls….See Jeremiah 6:16). 

Jesus said that whoever heard His words and obeyed Him, would be like a wise man who built his house on a rock. (See Matthew 7:24-27) 

“The LORD is my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.” (Psalm 18:2) 

God wants us to build securely on the Eternal Rock—the Word of God. Jesus is our ROCK..He is the firm foundation that we can build our lives upon. Don’t you dare budge off of God’s Word! Stand strong, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord. Instead of being divided, be determined to obey God! Believe Him, and trust Him! He is always faithful….

God loves you! 

HIS love and mine,

DEBORAH

"Deborah imparted the tools, skills and understanding I needed to grow in the spirit. In this day's devotional, God also spoke to me of the hard lessons we all need to learn when "He" or your "Mentor" (such as Deborah) in my case, speaks into our life that we must choose to grow...

"...As a result of obedience in the midst of her desert experiences, I believe God has filled Deborah with wisdom that we would all do well to take to heart. Do you ever ask yourself why you seem to end up in the same situation over and over again? Why you fear the future, or are frustrated with relationships?...."
