Poor old Liz

I wonder how many people think, "Poor old Liz, messed up two marriages and now she's living all on her own in a flat." Sounds awful doesn't it. However it's not like that at all. I've never been so happy. It could be disaster, it sounds like disaster, but one person makes the difference - God, as seen in Jesus. The one who is appalled by my sin also loves me so much that he has died for me and has forgiven me and given me a very worthwhile life. Part of that life is writing to you now, telling you how wonderful He is, because I want you to find his love too. If He can still love me when I've broken His command telling me not to commit adultery, then He can also forgive anything you have done. If you are broken down under the weight of your wrong doing, if you hate it, you are in just the right frame of mind to want to come to Jesus and have that burden rolled away from you for ever. I was a committed christian when I went wrong. You would think that was unforgiveable wouldn't you, but no, His love is greater than all our sin. He loves to bring us back to Himself. Just ask and find out.

Constructive criticism

First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.

Always wanting something new

Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump.  Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again.  This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different.  At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas.  Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people.  Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
