Terracotta Army






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.

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.

Always wanting something new

Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump.  Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again.  This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different.  At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas.  Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people.  Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
