When a Final turns into a Sermon

Do you still turn it in?  Especially when your view and the professor's view aren't the same and you're basically preaching against the professor?  Since I'm halfway through the assignment, whatever it is, it's a little late to turn back...but still I wonder...

Sample for my mother so she knows I'm alive and well:

"This engagement of the world is the duty of Christians, and is done out of the understanding that we love others as God has first loved us. God’s love of us necessitates that we engage God’s world in transforming acts of love. 
 
In fact, this is the
stated mission of The United Methodist Church, “To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” Divine Christ makes this relationship with God possible, and human Jesus provides an incarnate model of a life lived fully engaged in God’s transforming work. The incorporation of both the divine and the human aspects of God’s son into our mission is no accident. Both are essential to our understanding of mission."

Then I'm going to sing a couple of verses of "Oh How I Love Jesus", drop the mic, and walk away (or maybe back away depending on how I confident I feel about it when I'm done).  At least that's how it works in my head.
