I live in Great Britain, a prosperous part of the world. Here I am considered to be poor, but I don't feel poor. I have everything I need and am content with what I have. I enjoy "making ends meet." But the greatest secret of my contentment is that I know Jesus. As I have him, what more could I possibly want? This attitude is summed up in some words of the apostle Paul. In 1 Timothy 6 verse 6 he says,"Now godliness with contentment is great gain." I am not holy myself but I have Jesus and He gives me His holiness. You will never find contentment in money or the things it can buy, instead come to Jesus and receive the contentment He gives all who put their trust in Him.
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.
