Going Viral

I’ve just been reading an article about what makes a blog go viral. I’ve got one advantage from what I have read, I’m a woman. But so far I’ve been writing little short, pithy blogs and going viral mostly happens to longer blogs. Why would I want to go viral? I would like to go viral because I write about knowing God and I want more people to find Him and worship Him in spirit and in truth as He deserves to be worshipped. I am a Local Preacher in the Methodist Church in Britain and my congregations average about twenty people each Sunday. With my blog I could reach millions of people and surely many of them want to hear about the Christian God who sent Jesus to die, so that anyone, throughout the whole world, who will put their trust in Him will be saved, have their wrong doing cleansed away and be ready and fit to spend eternity with Creator God. The Christian God isn’t just for white people, He is for anyone who will turn to Him. He isn’t just for respectable people but for those who have lived on the seamy side of life, but now want something far better. My blog is called “Preaching with a Purpose” and my purpose is to reach out to as many people as possible throughout the world and tell them there is a certain hope for them if they will turn away from the life they are leading and turn to Jesus who will turn no one away, who comes to Him. As I sit at my PC in Devon England it is amazing to think someone the other side of the world might read this and turn to Jesus. I’ve been a Christian since I was seven. May be the whole of my life so far has been leading up to this moment when the simple things I say about faith might touch many through this blog. I also write on Squidoo so if you are interested you can find more of my stuff there. I’ll put a link below. It’s my birthday today and I am 66 years old. I have felt God’s presence with me throughout my life and I long to pass on this knowledge to anyone who will listen. So many pass by and live their lives without the knowledge of God. What an empty existence. If you are a believer, like me I would be very encouraged if you would comment on this blog. Also if you have stopped to think if your life is empty I would like to know. I wonder why I don’t just get on with my knitting and forget about my blog. Knitting isn’t going to reach out to you with the gospel of Jesus. The internet probably won’t be free to all soon and then it will be too late and I won’t be able to tell you that Jesus died to set you free. So when you can hear this message respond and ask Jesus for the pardon only He can give. My Pages on Squidoo

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.

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.
