People spend so much time and energy on things which are not bad in themselves, such as watching football, following any sport. Or there are people who go to concerts and the theatre. All quite legitimate occupations, but it is the level of obsession with these things that is wrong. Obsession is another word for worship and this belongs only to God. How foolish to spend all of our time on these things and fail to, at least, look into how to gain eternal life. Surely the claims of Christ need looking at thoroughly, or are you prepared to just take a chance that life ends like a candle going out. Is this the case or will you have , as I believe, to face Almighty God without Jesus by your side. Now that is frightening.
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.
