I remember as a teenager in the sixties that we were all
afraid of imminent nuclear war. Today no
one seems to feel this anymore. Why is
this? I was hearing on the T.V. this
evening that America and Russia still have nuclear weapons aimed at each other
with button primed for immediate use. So
why does this get spoken of so rarely? I would say that most people are more
worried about a terrorist bomb, when
they are on holiday than they are about huge devastation in a nuclear
exchange. The fact is people are so set
on making money and buying the latest gadget, the things they believe they must
have to be happy. Also to contemplate
nuclear devastation is not comfortable and so denial kicks in. The danger of nuclear war is probably greater
now than in the Cold War. The reason I
am less worried about it is because I believe God is in charge of all these
things and He knows best. That does not
mean that it will not happen. God’s ways
are past finding out and only He knows what is best, whether it is in our
personal lives or in world affairs. As we get nearer to the end of time many
terrifying things will happen, but this means that if our trust is in Jesus we
are being brought nearer to the resolution of all things when we will enter
heaven to be with our Saviour forever. But for now we have important things to
learn but most of all to trust Jesus whatever happens.
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.
