Sinning badly as a Christian



Well first of all there are no degrees of sinning, it is all bad. I am writing this to encourage anyone who feels they have well and truly blotted their copy book.  You are not alone. I committed adultery a few years ago, left my husband for another man.  This was sinful, make no mistake, but I repented and God forgave me as He promises He will if we do repent.  That means that God has now forgotten my sin. Hebrews 10:17 “ then he says,19 “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”20
If God has forgotten our sin so should everyone else.  I do not make light of this matter but I rejoice in God’s goodness.  This is why I am so happy, but some people cannot understand my happiness and think I should wear sackcloth and ashes all the time. It is also good to know that all that time when I was away from my family God’s purposes were being brought about.  He has been so good to me and given me back my family.  My first husband and I are good friends and we spend a lot of time with our children and grandchild.

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.

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.
