It isn't there. What did I do wrong? Well I had better repeat, I passed section B of my preaching course. Halfway through now. I really enjoy taking services. It's all about helping people to worship God, mostly by saying what I think He is like, based on the Bible primarily. Although I find the idea scarey I would like people to be able to stop me when I'm preaching and ask questions and even disagree with me, politely I hope. Most things in life are inter-active and I think services should be too. Maybe I've got to start asking for that. I could take a roving mike around the congregation and get some participation. After all the preacher is just an ordinary human being who doesn't have all the answers. What do you think? Would you like a church where you could have your say? Here's my lens on becoming a preacherHow to become a local preacher in the Methodist church in the U.K.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
congratulations and well done. I am sure you feel a sense of relief and elation that you have passed what I think is a quite difficult section of the course (and I mark it).
ReplyDeleteHere's to the next two sections and your full accreditation.
Thanks FP. I see your comments on Facebook also. Everyone seems to be having trouble with unit 11. Me too. I think it would be helpful if we had to stick to the the bible references given but could also choose two of our own to back up what we are saying about human nature.
