What does the T.V. do to you?




It seems great to have a home entertainment centre;  all sorts of things to amuse us and while away the time.  There is sport, there is drama, quiz shows and “reality T.V.” What could be better to watch in the comfort of our homes?  And it seems so important to keep up with world events, to be in the know about what our politicians are saying.  Would we invite a poisonous snake or a marauding bull into our homes among our family? The T.V. is not always, but often an open sewer flooding anti-God propaganda into our homes.  It tells us we need to be young and beautiful and spend a fortune on face creams and make-up. To put great effort into building up our bodies, if we are men, and slimming them down to a ridiculous, not to say unhealthy, tiny weight if we are women.  It tells us we should strive to be a pop singer, which if successful often leads to a lifestyle including drug taking. Evolution is anti-God and there is plenty about that on the T.V.  So think long and hard before you switch on the T.V. again.  And if you do switch it on try to watch and listen with ears that want to hear what God wants for you.  Be discerning, don’t just lap it up.  Would you drink poison even if it was laced with your favourite drink?  Would you put poison on the plate with the food your children eat? Maybe you are allowing the T.V. to fill their heads with values and suggestions you would prefer them not to hear and see. The T.V. is dangerous.

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.
