God appointed the preaching of His word as the means by
which sinners might be saved. Cafe church, fresh expressions and the like are a
way of spreading a different gospel which is none. If your heart is aching because you are
caught up in these things, but you see that the truth is not being expressed,
get out from under and leave these “churches” and God will bless you as you
cling to the Bible as your only means of knowing Him. I am finding a new found
freedom in talking over essential doctrines with people God puts in my path,
since I left the Methodist church. I am
even taking these truths to cafe church in another denomination. I look to God
alone for approval and He has taken my fear of man away. How foolish to fear
man instead of God almighty, but so often that is what we do.
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.
