Classes and Observations

ok ok....
So the next question i get most is "what classes are you taking and which is your favorite?"

1. Old Testament Survey
2. Church and its Doctrines
3. Christianity and Western Culture
4. Studying and Teaching the Bible
5. Bible Intro

Truthfully, I love all of my classes, they're not all very exciting (mabye due to the teacher, haha)but they definately are eye opening when you look at the history and the surrounding knowledge of Christianity and how many have viewed it from time to time. Most importantly the challenge is the balance of time; doing best not to give up any of my time that is dedicated to my personal relationship with my Lord Jesus! I've seen people lose their passion for ministry and desire for the simple things of life because they get caught up in the academics of going to a "Bible School"..... We go to church on sunday, serve in a ministry, take Bible classes, have chapel 3 times a week, and are around Christians every day for a good amount of our days.....AND TO OUR SHAME GIVE UP OUR PERSONAL TIME OF PRAYER AND STUDY AND DISCIPLESHIP. THIS CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED. BEING HERE AT THIS SCHOOL IS ABOUT THE GROWTH OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND OTHER CHRISTIAN AND THE WORLD OF all peoples(since we all are sinners). THE EDUCATION IS JUST A BONUS REALLY.

My hope is to grow in all of these areas into a man of integrity fully devoted to Jesus Christ sent to speak truth everywhere, anywhere, at any time, because it's time.
Oh, and my favorite class is Bible Intro. My prof is awsome, he has such a passion for Biblical truth and reliance that he goes on tangents without losing the focus of getting back to the main point. ive learned more from him in three weeks and thats word! anyway, love you fam.

Shout out to Nu-Nu!!!

1st Words

Hello blog world,

I'm Delroy. Better known as D-roc by most. I've been here at Moody Bible Institute now for two full weeks and things are already in motion as God has been working all around. One of the first questions that i have been asked considering this blog is, "why is it called generation of eagles?"
To answer that:

When i first began a young mens group a few years ago at my church we were asked what kind of bird we were. The options were that of a chicken, a turkey, a hawk and a an eagle. It had been explained to us how the eagle is the most distinct bird, dwelling in the highest cliffs, a predator, endangered and to say the least "amazing, right!" So in the scheme of thinking on how to address this, i wanted it to be know that i do live in a generation of eagles. Particularly speaking of my fellow peers of whom are also very distinct, dwelling higher, predators for righteousness and endangered above all species. Christians! Yep. CHRISTIANS.
