I've just turned off the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. I couldn't stand to watch any more of man glorying in man. We were not made to pat each other on the back and say how wonderful we are; we were created to praise God, who alone is worthy of praise. Don't be taken in by magnificent spectacles such as this, they are a poor sham. Unless we repent and turn back to God and worship only him in spirit and in truth we have a bleak future.
There is salvation in Jesus for all who will trust in him alone. We should not try to keep one foot in the camp which is the world's. We should be wholeheartedly following Jesus.
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.
