Our Lord warned us we would have troubles in this life. So often we are taken off guard and disappointed by what happens, but we have been warned. We try to make this world our home when we should be realizing that our home is in heaven. Here we are just passing through. We cannot expect to get comfortable when we are on a journey, full of mishaps. We are to set out sights on heaven. There we shall have perfect peace at last and joy immeasurable. Meantime we are an army on the march and should not expect feather pillows. We are in the biggest war ever. The war is won but we are in the midst of skirmishes which we must pass through before we gain heaven, won for us by Jesus on the cross.
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.
