We like to laugh and not to cry, but the Bible says it is
better to live in the house of sorrow than in the house of laughter. So often we get things the wrong way around
and think good is bad and bad is good. We love the good times when all is going
well for us, but do they make us think of God?
There is nothing like a dose of hardship or difficulty to make us turn
to God who alone can help us. Yes He
gives us the good times too, but it is then that we tend to wander from Him and
think we have got things well worked out for ourselves. Next time troubles come
turn to God at once and He will be with you through them no matter how long
they last.
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.
