The World in a Mess





I’m sure no one would disagree with me when I say, “ The world is in a mess.” But how should we react to this?  It is so easy to sit comfortably in front of the T.V. and because there is the need to protect oneself, to calmly eat tea whilst watching the most awful scenes. A large dose of denial helps one brush it all aside as happening a long way away. However problems are coming home to roost.  Migrants are invading our borders and expecting to be assimilated into our own countries.  Who is responsible for all the chaos in the world?  We all are, our collective sinfulness causes all these problems.  The Western world is responsible for grabbing more than its share of the natural resources of other lands and thereby causing the poverty of millions. The chickens are definitely coming home to roost. However many migrants are not a drain on the country.  There are many immigrants keeping our health service, in Britain, from crumbling.  The government are talking of bringing in a law that says after immigrants have been here six years, if they have not reached a certain level of pay they will have to leave.  Obviously they have not thought this through properly as it would mean us losing thousands of nurses. Always, it seems, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

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.
