What does success mean to you? Is it winning the Grand Prix or Wimbledon? Is it having a high powered job with lots of money? Or do you have to be content with watching those who are successful while you can only manage a hum drum life. Is that sort of success really all it's cracked up to be? One thing is certain about those successful people their prowess will lessen with the years and just like the rest of us they will die. So should we be putting all our energies into getting a slice of this world's fame? Or should we be considering the next life? Are you ready to meet God? He is all powerful and total goodness. How can such a being accept us when we are so lacking in goodness and totally unable to meet His requirements? It sounds like a black future for us all. But Jesus has lived the perfect life that God accepts and He promises to share his righteousness with us if we will come to Him and put our trust in Him. He is the only way to God the Father. Will you put your trust in Him, believing His death on the cross has made the only way back to God? All who come will be welcomed.
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.
