If you are in one of the mainstream denominations it is
helpful to be suspicious. All is not
what it seems or used to be. The
minister may speak words you think you recognise, but may in fact be using
those words to mean something other than they used to mean. If you feel uneasy about the words your
minister says and yet cannot quite put your finger on what the problem is, ask
God for His wisdom and guidance. If you believe
in the God of the Bible take heed to your suspicions. The new doctrines creeping in are insidious
and leading many astray. These are often
charming people with persuasive ways but their ways are the ways of death. If
you are in such a church run for your life before their honeyed words stick you
to their spider’s web.
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.
