sermonizing

It's been a busy week. Digesting the scriptures and trying to two sermons is hard work. I was also preparing for Wed. night's Roman's class. That also gives me a lot of pressure because I'm teaching it with my boss, who is an excellent teacher.

I tend to work very hard on the sermons. I know it's important that I have to learn a lot before I can teach it to someone. Teaching is a difficult thing, because you not only need to know the stuff that you are teaching, you also have to deliver in a way that will engage people and impact people. I'm never so sure how much what I say can impact others, so I have to change the draft over and over again till the very last minute...

I think i'm doing this out of love. love for their souls. I pray that these young men and women can live the rest of their lives honoring God, and I can be blessed to be a witness of all these wonderful things that are going to happen!
