Most of the problems we have in life are because we do not have our priorities right. We forget we are pilgrims and strangers here and we start to settle in. We should be looking to our eternal future and not building castles here. If you have built a castle you must put it to good use to use as a place where others can find Jesus. You cannot serve God and mammon. Riches cannot be trusted, instead built up riches in heaven where they cannot be stolen or spoilt. Those who preach the prosperity gospel would lead you astray. Riches are rarely compatible with a spiritual life.
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.
