My professor

My prof at Regent is one of the funniest men and I'm going to miss him 'cause class is now done. Taking another class with him would be worth the $1300 just to see him do his little excited dance when he talks about something he's really passionate about. At times he'll say things that make me giggle like a 13 year old boy. Today he was talking about how, at times, he lacks humility. He was going on and on about all of the degrees he has and topped it all off with, "I get to the point where I think if I bend over you'll get a sunburn."

Then he started talking about Jesus and how we're supposed to live our lives according to the New Testament and everything was brought into perspective. Here are some nuggets from class:

"If you're not a generous person you probably don't know Jesus."

"If you're generous with your words you're probably generous with your money."

"If you look like Jesus in your suffering you're doing good and Jesus will use it in a redemptive way."

"The profound thing that changes the hearts of men is His unrelenting forgiveness."

"Live in the light of the second coming of Jesus because it really could be today."

"Environmental issues are moral issues and people who think they aren't don't know their bibles."

"If you have a special relationship with a teacher you also have special responsibilities."

"It's not what you know, it's whether you're willing to change."

"Our deepest ethical moments don't happen at the level of our intellect, they happen at the level of our emotions."

So, I could go on and on...but that's it for now. My heart is wrenched!
