Every now and then Christians fall out. But we are told to love one another. You have to do your part in this even if the other party persists in being difficult. However it doesn't say that it will be an enjoyable experience to love the difficult person. This is agape love, the self sacrificing sort. Sometimes this love may mean standing up for yourself and not just accepting bad behaviour. The person behaving badly is not doing themselves any good. Love never was easy.
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.
