Who is really mad?




Is it the people who have depression and can only see the black side of things or is it those of us who are filling our lives with trivia?  While they see the true horror of what is happening in our world most of us are collecting gadgets that we feel we must have.  We are frittering our lives away in meaningless activity, all to keep us blinkered from the atrocities of the day. We block our ears and our hearts to the truth about life and fill our days with doing something, anything, to stop us having to face up to the truth.  What is this truth, it is the fact that the world is full of wickedness ranging from the devastation and horror of war which we think in the West we can turn o0ur backs on, to the horror of the killing of unborn babies which is largely condoned in our society, but nevertheless is murder. All this is done by a world that rejects its Creator, denies His existence.  But God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap.  There will be a day when all we have done or condoned will have to be accounted for before God.  Take this to heart and you will be worried, and so you should.  However if we come to Jesus for forgiveness we will find it.  He promises to forgive anyone who comes to Him now.  One day it will be too late.

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.
