Silence

We spend our days filling our ears with distracting noise. Some of it is good, like beautiful music, or popular music with songs, the words of which make us think about life and what it is all about.How much silence do you have in your life? And if you have silence do you fill it with worry, so that your inner condition is as noisy as a train going past. Where can we find peace? I believe it can be found in trusting in Jesus. All those bad things we have done can be forgiven in him. I am not a goody, goody who has never done anything wrong. I have hurt people in my life and regret it. I did it even though I already knew Jesus.To find the peace that Jesus gives, you need to set aside time to think about him and realise he is there with you as you think. This will turn into prayer. If you look for him with all your heart you will find him and his peace.Take a look at this web page of mine A prayer for every day

Life after death

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.

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.
