This weekend, our church had the privelege of having Earl Creps speak on Sunday morning. Since he was already on the east coast, he dropped down to Delaware to speak before continueing in his travels. A few things alwasy stand out to me about Earl. As my professor, he has made me read more than possibly any other person ever should–I think my eyeballs are calloused! The ever expanding stacks of books that won’t even fit in my book cases attest to that. While this might incline some to avoid him as a professor, it encourages me. I am encouraged by his keen interest in our rapidly changing culture and the ways pastors (especially younger ones) try to engage culture. I am also encouraged that someone with great academic credentials still communicates/preaches in a way that anyone listening can understand him. If you want to hear some of his messages, check out his podcast.
