A couple of nights’ ago I watched a programme on T.V. about
the terracotta army discovered some time ago in China. Each soldier is amazing and individually
crafted. One man was measuring their
ears to see how unique each one is, just as if they were portraits of different
people, and I guess that is so. They
were buried with weapons which proved to be excellent and accurate. The commentator said they were, “well ahead
of their time.” Often when speaking of “primitive” peoples there is amazement
at their technology. We do not know how
Stonehenge could possibly have been positioned as it is. We marvel at the precision of the
pyramids. Why is it that we are amazed
at these things? If we read our Bibles
we see that Adam and Eve were created perfect and this would have included
their intellect. They were far more
clever than anyone on earth today and it was only after the fall when they
rebelled against God that everything about them began gradually to
decline. Evolutionists tell us that we are
becoming more and more clever, having come from nothing. The truth is, from the beginning man was more
intelligent than we are and everything is now going downhill as we race toward
eternity. What pride we have in our achievements and yet there has been no
solution to war, crime, poverty or famine.
We can flood the Earth with gadgets and fill papers with so called
science which is mostly just the product of imagination. We are failures. There is a certain solution, to turn back to
God whom Adam and Eve rebelled against, and find His salvation in Jesus Christ.
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.
