Do you want to please God? Do you want to be so righteous that he will be pleased with you. Don't struggle doing good and praying and fasting. These things are all very good at the right time, but the only righteousness that pleases God is the righteousness that only Jesus can give us. He has a robe of righteousness and if you ask him he will clothe you in it. Then you will please God and he will accept the good things you do thereafter as gifts of love for the God who has given us a perfect salvation in Jesus alone.
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.
:) Well said dear Liz.
