Over the years I have tried to be a good friend. There are genuine people who are in genuine need
and then there are lame ducks who need to get on and look after
themselves. These people just drain your
energy and ask for more and more help without lifting a finger to help
themselves. Always be prepared to help the genuine people but beware of lame
ducks because they will just leave you feeling exhausted. You may think you are doing God’s will by
looking after them, but really it is Satan who has send them along to sap your
energy which is needed elsewhere. Always give a lame duck a chance but then
move on.
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.
