Ok, so I was thinking...who is someone we see all week long that we usually don't think to share Jesus with??? Our Professors! So, how can we do it? They have all this free office time and just sit there bored to tears probably checking assignments and looking at email and stuff. Why don't we make it our mission to shed the love of Christ upon them. They need Jesus too. I'm gonna strive to share with all my professors in office time this semester whenever I possibly can. I know, I know...our grades could suffer....but would you rather it be your grades or them (for eternity)....who knows, maybe because of your absolute love for the lost, your teacher will come to Jesus and find complete redemption and relationship with their Maker. Just a thought....anybody thought about this? May the Holy Spirit guide you this week to fulfill all He has planned through your life. May you be filled with joy and passion knowing Your Father loved and loves you enough to pay your fine and walk with you daily. Go serve Your King.

Whether you have many steps or none at all, it is an other-worldly task we have been given. The following are a few practical steps preachers can take before climbing the real ones on Sunday morning... 1. Get in the Word We must immerse ourselves in the text at the outset o
