Do you find yourself agreeing with people when inside you
disagree? Do you try to keep the peace
at any price? Then your conscience is
not working properly. Paul spoke about
having a conscience seared by a hot iron.
If you burn your skin it will hurt at the time but later not be
sensitive to touch. Your conscience can be like that and stop warning you when
you are doing wrong. It is important for
you to stand up for what you believe in.
We all compromise at times, wanting not to upset other people, but there
comes a time for action; a time to make ones voice heard; a time to stand by
the gospel; a time to put Jesus first.
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.
