The reason for being late


This charming little westie is the reason for me being late. I spent the night dog-sitting at her place and couldn't get to a computer. So I am late. God is never late. He has everything planned and it happens just when he wishes it to. You may think God is late answering your prayer, but He has already answered it but maybe for you the answer is in the future. God is not caught in time as we are, he knows the end from the beginning. If you are trusting in Him He has your best interest at heart and you will get that answer to your prayer, but at the time that is best. However it is not easy for us to wait for that answer, we are by nature very impatient. I am 64 and I believe I am on the brink of having a prayer answered that I prayed when I was a teenager. Sometimes it is best to leave our prayers with God and get on with our lives until He answers and gives us a wonderful surprise.

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.
