Jerome Hines sang the lead role of Christ

in the opera I Am the Way, at PCC in 1997.

Over 5,500 attended,setting a PCC record.

World-renowned opera bassoJerome Hines spent 41 years withthe Metropolitan Opera, makinghis singing career the longest inMet history. He died Feb. 4, at age81. Hines’s opera career began as ateenager in California; he joined theNew York Met at age 24.

In 1949, he began composing I Amthe Way, an opera on the life of Jesus.He carefully researched scripture andput music to verses depicting the lifeof Christ. His autobiography, This Is

My Story, This Is My Song , reveals hishesitation: “How could I put thosewords [of the apostle] to music? Whowas I to write an opera about Him of whom I knew nothing and with whomI had no dealings?”

“While studying the scriptures, I becamea Christian. God showed me that hewas not interested in my beautiful voice,but in my message. I told Him I wouldrather sing bit parts in a second-rate

FAME AND

FAITH OF

theater and belong to Him, than to bethe greatest singer in the world and haveturned Him down.”

After that, Hines’s faith in Jesus Christbecame the center of his work. Duringhis 55-year music career, he sang the lead

role of Christ in I Am the Way in over 90performances.

Hines’s lengthy obituary in the New York Times (Feb. 5, 2003) stated that hisbeliefs made him “like a square peg in around hole at the Met in those years.”

When offered an alcoholic drink atreceptions, Hines replied, “No, I don’tneed any stimulant or relaxer, but I willtake some milk.” He openly expressed

God’s plan of salvation to colleagues,including former Met tenor Ray Gibbs,now PCC artist-in-residence. Gibbsrecalls, “It was very touching the way he explained the gospel to me. Untilthat time, I had never heard it explainedthat way.”

Hine’s faith was expressed on inter-national stages as well. During a tripto Moscow, when asked how he couldretain such a peaceful spirit on stage,

even when ill, he replied in perfectRussian, “I am a Christian. I know my God.”

Jerome Hines touched many lives,giving all glory to his Savior.

“My whole philosophy of life changed since

becoming a Christian.I now have one purpose,

and that is to dowhatever the Lord wants me to do.”

In the new planetarium presentation, Celestial Stained Glass, viewers travel beyond earth’s solar system toexplore the brightest stars in the Milky Way galaxy,

where God “set a tabernacle for the sun” —Psa. 19:4.

Before modern telescopes, only God knew that “onestar differeth from another star in glory” —1 Cor. 15:41. Now man can see that each star is unique—magnicent in size,distance, and so arranged that from earth several starsoften appear as one star.

The celestial heavens also have beautifully brilliant“stained glass” nebulae—clouds of interstellar dust andgas that reect light from the stars. The nebulae create

extraordinary displays of light and shadow in hues of magenta, crimson, blue, and gold. Viewers can see thesespectacular “stained glass” nebulae, including the Horse-head, Baby Eskimo, Great Ring, and others.

Celestial Stained Glass premiered during BibleConference 2003. PCC’s rst planetariumshow,The Heavens Declare, premiered inNov. 2001. Both presentations glorify the God of Creation by displaying thewonders and beauty of the universe.

6 PCC UPDATE SUMMER 2003

From the

President

Dr. Arlin Horton Founder/President

While waiting for V. P. Dan Quayleto speak at the opening ceremoniesof the 1992 Pensacola State Fair,the audience sang many familiarpatriotic songs. On stage werepublic high school cheerleaders whoappeared awkward because they did not know the traditional songs

of our American heritage. They clapped to the rhythm; a few movedtheir mouths to mimic the words,but most just smiled. These young,intelligent, vibrant American youthenjoyed all the freedoms, prosperity,and opportunities of our nation, buthad been denied the joy of learningthe patriotic musical heritage of theirhomeland.

A more serious dilemma than thathas come to our country! Many youthtoday are growing up in churches thatnever sing the grand hymns of ourChristian heritage, nor will they havethe joy of singing the gospel hymnsabout heaven or holy living. They arebeing denied the heritage of hymnsthat have bonded Christians togetherfor generations and that implant bib-lical truths in the minds and hearts of God’s people. They will be strangersto all of that. What a loss for them!

A new book that is a must-readfor every pastor and Christian isDan Lucarini’s book, Why I left the Contemporary Christian Music

Movement . It effectively and bibli-cally addresses a crisis in today’spulpit and pew. Contemporary (rock) music is in full swing in many churches. Its appeal to the esh andthe “world” makes it enthusiastically accepted by babes in Christ, worldly believers, and unsaved church mem-

bers. As a former worship leader,

Lucarini shows the worldly effectthis music has on the worship leadersand participants.

A. W. Tozer has pertinent wordsabout worship:

“I wonder if there was ever atime when true spiritual worshipwas at a lower ebb. To great sectionsof the church, the art of worship hasbeen lost entirely.” The Pursuit of God

And “Worship is to feel in yourheart and express in some appropri-ate manner a humbling but delightfulsense of admiring awe and astonishedwonder and overpowering love in thepresence of that most ancient Mys-tery, that Majesty which philosopherscall the First Cause but which we callOur Father Which Art in Heaven. . . .

“A great Christian of nearly 300 years ago, Nicholas Herman of Lor-raine [Brother Lawrence] said that in

his early Christian life he determined

to cut through the tangle of religiousmeans and ‘nourish his heart on highthoughts of God.’ I have always treas-ured that expression.

“A cultivation of God throughprayer, humble soul-searching andavid feasting upon the Scriptureswould go far to awaken the church.

“As long as God is considered to bevery much like the rest of us, except a

little higher and a little greater, therewon’t be any great amount of holy fear among church people. In my opinion, the great single need of themoment is that lighthearted super-cial religionists be struck down with avision of God high and lifted up withHis train lling the temple. The holy art of worship seems to have passedaway like the Shekinah glory from thetabernacle.” Keys to the Deeper Life, p. 26

The trend today is to replacetraditional hymns with con-

temporary praise choruses. Thisis not a good trend, especially for

youth and new believers who needa strong doctrinal focus. Hymnspresent clear expressions of theknowledge of God and biblicaltruth. Col. 3:16 admonishes—

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.

Most contemporary praisechoruses lack this emphasis. Forexample, a Muslim can sing many contemporary praise choruses andnever utter a contradiction of hisfaith because praise choruses tendto focus on our affections for Godrather than doctrinal truth. In

Why Sing Hymns?“Our youth are growing up

not learning the hymns.” —Concerned Parent

contrast, a Muslim cannot singa Christian hymn without pro-fessing doctrine that contradictsIslamic faith. Contemporary praise choruses often omit theidentity of the God to whom itis sung, and they are so vaguethey could be sung to any falsegod. Even gospel choruses donot take the place of hymns richin doctrine.

To discard hymns is not only unwise but also dangerous, forthe identication and character of our Christian faith depends upondoctrinal distinctions. By singinghymns that are permeated withdoctrinal truth, we help protect

younger generations against theindictment: “there is no truth,nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land” —Hosea 4:1.

D an Lucarini, former Worship Leader

I want to sum m arize the reason s Ihad to leave the CCM scene. I

could no longer accept t he prem isesundergirding the CCM philosophy.In o ther word s, the piles holding u pthe pier tur ned out to be rotten andcrum bling. Ou r key prem ises werethat m usic is amoral; God accepts allmusic styles; and no one shou ld judgeano ther ’s preferences and tastes. As Idug into the Bible to prove them right,instead I saw that th ey were man-cen-tered, illogical, and misrepresenta-tions of basic biblical principles.…

When I saw what th e Bible teachesabout tru e worship and wh at it reallym eans to be in th e presence of God, Ibecame sickened at th e way my gen-eration so glibly used profane andvulgar mu sic accom pan ied by vulgardress to offer up worship and praiseto a holy God ! And no on e involvedseemed to n otice what we were doing.

To pr eserve my mar riage and to befaith ful to God in all thin gs, I neededto separate from th e temptations thatwere ever p resent in th e CCM setting:the ego gratification and attractionto the female members of the wor-ship team .

I saw that we were in danger of becoming the same hypocrites weaccused the Traditionals of being.For examp le, one of our m ain chargesagainst con servative chur ch m usicand services was that they lackedspontaneity; they were boring andpred ictable. But som ehow we didnot notice that our own CCM serv-ices had become num bingly the same,week after week. The typ ical ex-Bap-tist, evangelical, com mun ity chu rch,seeker-sensitive services were allstarting to soun d th e same.…

We man aged to create a un iquem usical style in CCM P&W [Praise

and Worship] and n ow we have thou -

sand s of churches copyin g it. It’s stillrock but not as “hard” as the latestsecular versions.…The worship setshave fallen into a familiar (boring?)ord er of service. Th e Trad ition alshad some guidelines to restrain th em,but Contemporaries have no rules,so when things become too fam iliarthey bring in lou der, jazzier and m orequ estionable m aterial. That is on e of the curses upon CCM: the m usic willcontinually be on this slippery slopeand worship leaders will be forced toaccept any musical style, no matterhow disgraceful. I had to get awayfrom that.…

Musically speaking, I have comefull circle as a Christian; back to achurch with a similar musical phi-losophy as the one I attended whenI was saved.

It is time to expose the hypocrisyof those church leaders who justifyCCM by claiming th ey use it for evan-gelistic pur poses in their seeker serv-ices. Non sense! The truth is, thesechurches use it in their services forthe “saint s” as well. One of th e majorpro blems with seeker-oriented m usicis that it m ust n ot o nly “sink” to appealto man’s fallen nature, but is alsobound to stir up the believer’s sinfulnature, his “flesh,” as Paul called it.At the seeker-sensitivechurches we attend ed,the music was osten-sibly designed for th eunchurched but thatexcuse was really

just a sm oke screenobscuring our realreason for bringing

CCM into the service. The bottomline is that we sim ply want to use ourmusic in the church, not what weperceived as our parents’ or grand-paren ts’ m usic. We have the sameself-centered, self-indulgent spiritof the 1960s and 1970s but now it

has been given a veneer o f Chr istiandedication.

I call this the “I want my MTV!”attitude. That phr ase was a popu laradvertising slogan promoting MTVin the 1980s. The advert ising hook was dia bo lically clever. It reallym eans: “I want to listen to m y mu sicwhenever I feel like it and don’t youtell m e that I can’t.” Th is is the spir itof self-indulgence, not the spirit of God. We brou ght this spirit into the

church with our m usic masqueradingas a tool for better evangelism.…

In 1996, Al Mohler Jr . wrote,“Authentic biblical worship is oftensupplanted by th e enter ta inm entculture as issues of performanceand taste displace the simplicity andGod-centeredness of true worship.Ou r chu rches are worldly in lifestyle,worship, and piety. We have seen th eworship of God too often m ade intoa hum an-centered enter ta inment

event.” p. 62, 63

CCM ’s acceptance into the chu rchcame into being out of ou r self-indu l-gence and lusts, that it has been justi-fied by deceptive argum ents, and it isfuelled by our desire for music thatfeeds our sinful natu re. We have beendeceived into believing that we canuse any style of music in our worshipservice and that God accepts it. Thisis false! Ou r acceptance of th is lie has

harm ed an entire generation

of older Christians, has splitchurches, and is encour agingimmorality, self-indulgenceand divisive attitudes in thechurch.

But th e bottom line to all of this boils down to one thing.We have an active enemy calledSatan and he wants to erodethe effectiveness of the localchurch from the inside out. p. 137

PCC’s art philosophy is to helpstudents master traditional art

principles and skills which preparethem for today’s job market. Thisis a refreshing change from otherinstitutions, for practically all artprograms insist that art studentshave a no-holds-barred freedom of

expression.Shawn Thayer (CA), a

senior art major, knowsthe difference betweenmodern and tradi-tional art philosophies.“A secular art school

taught me that getting someone’sattention was more important thancommunicating a message. Skillwasn’t necessary and only what I wanted to do really mattered. AfterI was saved, I looked for a school that

taught the real fundamentals of art, and PCC teaches me the principlesused by classical master artists.”

PCC’s commercial art andgraphic design programs developa wide range of artistic studenttalent. After basic drawing, design,and painting courses, commercialart majors concentrate on advancedillustration and design, while graphicdesign majors study advertising and

printing using the latestcomputer technology.

All students completetwo 80-hour internships,either in approved com-panies, or with A Beka

Book, the nation’s leadingpublisher of Christian text-

books.Seniors display their

best college art in a publicart exhibit. Jim Hutchinson,dean of communicative arts,says, “The more a studentdisplays his work, the more he ismotivated to improve. It is impor-tant that an artist learn to assimilatethe comments and criticisms of thegeneral public so he can improve.”

PCC’s art programs are amongits fastest growing majors becausethey prepare artists and designersfor today’s job market.

Some think the only fountains on PCC’s campus areat the Sports Center, Commons, Palms Grille, and

Library Atrium.

Many do not realize there is another fountain, notmade for spouting water, but of paper, ink, and studentcreativity. It is the Fountains student publication, whichbegan in 1990 and is now a PCC tradition.

Students of every major are invited to submit their

writing for possible publication in Fountains. Hundredsof poems, essays, stories, and word games are thenevaluated by commercial writing and journalismstudents. These students select the best of PCC’s talent,and then assemble and edit the publication.

Daniel McDairmant (MD), an editorfor the 14th edition, says, “I came to theclass as a scared, rubber-legged, rst-semester writing major, and I left withcondence and experience. I knew almost nothing about editing, and now

I would even dare call myself an editor—I love it!”

After a semester of copyediting, Fountains is then passedon to commercial art and graphic design students whoillustrate the text, design the cover, arrange the layout,and incorporate typography and photography.

Samantha Velazquez (CO), an illus-trator for the 14th edition, knows thatadding design to text to bettercommunicate is vital for any artist tomaster. She says, “I try to put myself

in the author’s place. I want to put asmuch effort into illustrating as the author did writing.”

Each spring, the Bookstore sells the published Fountainsto students and campus guests.The nished book not only pro-vides writing and art studentswith valuable publishing experi-ence, but also offers the studentbody a memorable collection of work from their peers.

Dear Mom, the letter begins. Just wanted to let you know you makethe best chili in the world. My visionclouds, and I scrawl, You should market the cookies, too. Love you!

Monica XOXO

I go downstairs and hang the cardon the refrigerator door so Momwill see it when she gets up for her3 a.m. medicine. I hope the cardwill make an unpleasant ritualmore bearable.

I pause in the hallway, listening,

then tiptoe to my parents’ doorand slowly turn the knob. I can’tsee in the dimness, but I can hearher breathing. Satised that she isresting comfortably, I return to my room.

I wonder if every mother has theability that mine has—to giveunselshly of her things, her time,her attention, herself. She’s notperfect, but I think she’s the best. Ihope she knows how I feel.

Years have passed since that night,but not much has changed. Momstill has the card, the tiger still sitson my shelf, and I was right aboutCleveland—no more baseball games,only the Cleveland Clinic. Thedoctors there found Mom’s cancer.

They say she doesn’t have muchlonger; I say they’re wrong. Butif they’re right, I need to learn to

cook. Soon. Then, when she isin a place where lymphoma andchemotherapy don’t exist, I canpass around the best peanut buttercookies and say, “Here, have one.It’s my mom’s recipe.”

J oin us for a refreshing,spiritually invigorating

conference. Scriptural insightsand music will challenge you

and warm your heart.

I don’t know how to make her chili.I’ve seen her do it a hundred

times, and I can list the ingredients,but that’s it. Nor do I know how to make her peanut butter cookies.I know she uses Pillsbury doughand presses X’s into the tops witha milk-dipped fork, but that’s it. Ineed to learn more. Soon.

I burst into the kitchen, gladto be out of the cold. Afterthe pandemonium of a varsity basketball game, our silent housesooths my ringing eardrums. Ishould have eaten before the game,but I didn’t, so I’m starving! I dropmy car keys on the counter andread the note on the kitchen table.

Hi! Hope the guys won. I know youdidn’t eat, so dinner’s on the stove.Enjoy the surprise in the cupboard.If you need me, wake me up. Love

you! Mom XOXO

I smile at her foresight, spotting the

chili on the stove. In the cupboardare Ziplock bags of peanut buttercookies. My smile widens, and Ihead upstairs.

A photo on my dresser catches my eye—Mom and me, sitting outsideCleveland’s Jacobs Field baseballpark. In the background are gray skies and concrete walls, but oursmiles light the photo. Wow , Ithink. That day seems forever ago.

“Think we’ll go to a baseballgame again?” I ask the stuffedtiger sitting on a nearby shelf.My throat constricts, but I keeptalking. “No more peanuts orhot dogs with Stadium Mustardfor her.” I rummage through adrawer, nding only index cardsand construction paper. “I bet it’sbeen years since she got a letteron construction paper,” I murmur,

searching for Crayolas.

Some years ago, Charles Bradlaugh,the outstanding atheist in Eng-

land, constantly challenged the va-

lidity of the claims of Christianity.In one of the slums of London, aminister by the name of Hugh PricesHughes had a magnetic personality.All London was aware of the transfor-mation of those who came to his mis-sion. Charles Bradlaugh challengedMr. Hughes to debate with him thevalidity of the claims of Christianity.London was greatly interested. Whatwould Mr. Hughes do?

He immediately accepted the chal-lenge, and in doing so, added one of his own. He responded:

“Since we know, Mr. Bradlaugh, thata man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, and since thedebate as a matter of mental gymnas-tics will not likely convert anyone, I

propose to you that we bring someconcrete evidences of the validity of the claims of Christianity in the form

of men and women who have beenredeemed from lives of sin and shameby the inuence of Christianity andby atheism. I will bring one hundredsuch men and women, and I chal-lenge you to do the same.

“If you cannot bring one hundred,Mr. Bradlaugh, to match my hundred,I will be satised if you will bring fty men and women who will stand andtestify that they have been lifted up

from lives of shame by the inuenceof your teachings.

“If you cannot bring fty, I challenge you to bring twenty people whowill testify with shining faces, as my hundred will, that they have a greatnew joy in a life of self-respect as aresult of your atheistic teachings.

If you cannot bring twenty, I will besatised if you bring ten.

“Nay, Mr. Bradlaugh, I challenge

you to br ing one, just one manor woman who will make such atestimony regarding the uplifting of

your atheistic teachings.

“My redeemed men and women willbring an unanswerable proof to thesaving power of Jesus Christ in thelives of those who have been redeemedfrom the slaveries of sin and shame.Perhaps, Mr. Bradlaugh, this will bethe real demonstration of the validity of the claims of Christianity.”

London was stirred. What would Mr.Bradlaugh do? For answer, CharlesBradlaugh, in great discomture andchagrin, publicly withdrew his chal-lenge for the debate. And Londonsmiled.

“We have been discouragedby churches dropping suchwonderful hymns, but RBN brings back many memoriesand convictions by continu-ing to play them.” —Indiana

“I recently found your broad-cast and was overjoyed! I had

quit listening to ‘Christian’radio because of the contem-porary music. I didn’t know there was a station like RBN that played ‘soul-blessing’music.” —Ohio

“I listen to RBN on my com-puter at work. When I have ahard day, I can always listenand get a fresh start. Musicaffects me so much, and themusic you play is such a bless-ing.” —Florida

“I am an 82-year-old widow

living alone and depend onthis beautiful station. It is thebest Christian broadcast thatthere ever was. Thank you!”

the son was born,

— the years he lived after theson was born, and

— the total years he lived.The sons may not be rst-born sons,even as Seth was not Adam’s rst-born. Many sons may have beenborn before and after the son who islisted. Early man observed the sun’scycle on the horizon to determine

years; thus the length of years wasthe same as ours.

Of those listed in Genesis 5, all butthree lived over 900 years. For

us, that would be like living from1100 A.D. (Middle Ages) until thepresent; it would mean being about400 years old when Columbus dis-covered America in 1492.

It is interesting to note that Adamwas alive when Noah’s father Lamechlived. And Noah was still alive whenAbram was born. Sickness was mini-mal; therefore, everyone lived a longtime. Since childbearing years were

exceedingly fast. The earth couldhave been lled with people by thetime of the Flood. Most people lived

to see nine to twenty or more genera-tions of offspring. Imagine the size of the world’s present population if mostof those born 900 years ago were stillliving today.

“Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah” —Gen. 5:22.

Enoch was 65 years old when Methu-selah was born, after which he had anex perience with God that changedhis life. God revealed to Enoch thatas long as this particular son lived,God would withhold His judgmenton the world, but after this son died,

judgment would come. Thus, Enochnamed this son Methuselah, whichmeans when he is dead, it shall besent. Enoch then began to walk withGod. He lived 365 years, “and hewas not; for God took him” —Gen. 5:24.

He did not die but was translated,that is, he went to heaven with-out dying. Methuselah lived to be

969 years old, the oldest person onrecord.“The signication of Methuselah is,‘When he is dead, it shall be sent,’ i.e.,the Deluge.…As long as Enoch’s son

lived the world was safe; but whenhe died, then should it (the Deluge)be sent. Is it not a most impressivedemonstration of God’s long-suf- fering that the man whose life was tomeasure the breadth of a world’s pro-bation, was permitted to live longerthan any one else ever did live!”

—Pink, Gleanings

God so timed the catastrophic judg-ment that Methuselah died the yearof the Flood. This demonstrates

that God’s redeemed people are important in holding back God’s judgment; they are the salt that preservessociety. Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth” —Matt. 5:13. He admonishedthat the salt not lose its savor—its ef-fectiveness as a preservative.

Families, communities, and nationsneed God’s people to be the spiritualsalt that holds back God’s judgmenton an area or a nation.
