What else do we deserve since we have not brought our children up to fear God? There may be grievances of one sort and another which trigger this sort of behaviour, but why should the young people know how to behave if we have not taught them there is a God who requires our respect? When we do not respect God, why should we expect our children to respect us? We have used T.V. and video games as childminders when we should have been building a relationship with our children. Now the violence they have seen on the screen is what they want in reality. Unless we turn back to God in sorrow and repentance for what we have done to our children we will continue to reap the whirlwind.
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.
