How Big is Your God?

My God is Almighty, all powerful.  He is absolutely in charge of everything that happens in this universe.  He is not a god who is taken by surprise by anything that happens to us.  If we are trusting in Him everything that happens to us is in His control and is for our good and His glory. He is not caught off guard by random happenings, everything is desired by Him.  Although He sympathizes with us in our difficulties He does not weep with us because He knows all will be well."Like a father pities his children so the Lord pities those that fear Him."If we fear Him we will have nothing else to fear. We pray,"Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." And indeed His will is being done.  If you are going through hard times hold on to the knowledge that God's will is being done. you may have health issues, trust in God He will bring you through.  You may be bereaved.  trust in God He will sustain you.Our God made heaven and earth and everything in it including you.  Trust Him because He has all the answers. Even the devil is doing God's will even when doing his worst.  I recommend a book discussing these things.  The Sovereignty of God by A.W.Pink.

Constructive criticism

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.

Section A

I've posted off my work for section A. Now to get on with B. Onward and upward as they say. It does feel good to have completed A, progress is being made.I think my tutor is more nervous than I as to the outcome, but then I am his first student. We are learning from each other.But then that should always be the case. It's an adventure we go on together.The course seems to be suiting me alright but I feel there are a lot of potentially excellent local preachers out there who are put off by the study. Something should be devised to include these good people, we can ill afford to do without them, especially as the numbers of ministers is dropping. What did Wesley do? You don't need a degree, or even A levels to preach. You need a call, and a close relationship with God.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
