i can do bad all by myself..

"everybody's spiritually weak. and everybody's frustrated sometimes with their own spirituality."

~ Dr. Fanning

my missions professor just said that.

makes me feel like i'm doing alright.

nobody ever learns a language in high school. ... and any numbskull can learn it. [you've got to be immersed in it] - Dr. Fanning

just catch a vision and go after a task until you finish the task. just be somebody that sees something that needs to be done and do something for the kingdom. -Dr. Fanning

evangelism - this is the heart of the missionary movement. you've got to learn how to evangelize. - Dr. Fanning

[when speaking of evangelizing] learn to overcome those inhibitions by just doing it. - Dr. Fanning

you get to spend a whole week with a bunch of unsaved kids. what could be better? - Dr. Fanning

about the above statement, i would just like to say.. BAM. to those of you who say that we can't "hang out" with unsaved people so that they don't influence us with their "sin" and whatnot, well, here ya go. Jesus hang out with prostitutes. He just didn't hang out with them while they were prostituting. My heavens, if we don't hang out with these people and show them the love of Christ, then who on earth is going to? as Christians (CHRIST FOLLOWERS), it is our JOB, our SOLE PURPOSE on this planet, to show Christ to others through our lives. believe it or not, it's not raising kids, it's not having fun, it's simply to be all "pious" and "holy". so much of the time when people shelter themselves and their families in order to be those things, they fail. miserably. separation does not = holiness. spending time with God and letting Him work through your life = holiness.

anddddd that's enough for now.

deuces.
