This is the question of all of us when we heaar of events like those in Cumbria England on Thursday. Why should an ordinary man, a taxi driver, kill his twin brother and several other people by shooting them in the open air as he drove forty five miles in Cumbria. Yes, he had problems with money, but what is at the root of such an event. You see it isn't unique, is it? We had the Hungerford massacre a few years ago and in Scotland the Dunblane tragedy. Also killings like this in the States. It seems to me that anyone is capable of an act like this given the right, or wrong circumstances. We have this dark side to our nature that leaves us open to do horrid things. That's why Jesus came so that we could be rescued from this dark side. But you have to want to be rescued. Do you want to be rescued? For more on the events in CumbriaA thought for each day
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.
