How do you deal with triumph and disaster? I'm fairly good at dealing with the minor disasters that come into my life, but triumph is a craftier beast and fills our hearts with joy, when really we should realise that it is fickle and often false. We all prefer triumph but we learn more important lessons from disaster.
We have to remember that the triumphs and disasters of this life are equally unimportant. What we need to concentrate on is the next life. This life is for a fleeting moment, the next will never end. Are you busy coping with triumph and disaster in this life, when you should be preparing for the next life?
God requires perfection from us. This can only be achieved by putting our trust in Jesus and accepting his robe of righteousness. Perhaps my page about Justification by Faith will help you more.
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.
