Is it necessary for a christian to oppose evolution?

Some christians think they can just shelve to question of evolution because they think," preaching the gospel is more important." They fail to realise that the creation account is a vital part of the gospel.  It tells us of a holy, righteous and good God who made all things.  It tells us of Adam and Eve created perfect but who rebelled against God, passing sin onto the rest of us.  It tells of God's promise to send a Saviour from Eve's seed who would crush the serpents head and redeem His people. Without the creation account telling us of our indebtedness to God as our creator and our need for the salvation He promises, we cannot understand the gospel as it later unfolds. We cannot ditch the creation account in favour of evolution.  Without the creation account nothing else makes sense in the gospel.  Your choice is simple, either be a Bible believing Christian (for there is no other sort) or ditch it in favour of evolution and be an atheist.

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.
