Mammon is Fame and fortune, things and status. The bible says that if we crave for those things we cannot please God. If you are running after money you will have no time to search for God. In our Bible study this week we were learning that God is beautiful, totally awesome and wonderful, totally good. Money promises us so much but does not deliver. It is fickle and can slip through our fingers in a moment. Do you really want to spend your energies chasing after it when instead you should repent of your sin, and especially the sin of ignoring God and be secure in this wonderful God who will never let you down? I want to have my treasure in heaven where it is safe with Jesus my Saviour.
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.
