Rest in Jesus Prof!

Dr. Howard "Prof" Hendricks went home to Jesus today and left a legacy of love, discipleship, and wisdom to those who studied under him, listened to him speak, or read his books.  He was totally committed to his calling to disciple, shape, equip and prepare students for ministry.  This 2003 quote says it all:

“You’re looking at a completely fulfilled human being. If I died today having produced some of the people God has given me the privilege of shaping, it will have been worth showing up on the planet.”  —Prof Hendricks to the Dallas Morning News, 2003

His teaching, preaching and books touched my life in ways beyond description.  His humor and biblical insight were unparalleled.  He spoke truth in love years ago at a PromiseKeepers rally for pastors and God used it to help me re-evaluate my priorities.  It saved my marriage, family and ministry.
