Guilt can be your friend





Psychologists talk about people having a guilt complex and do everything to get rid of this for their patients to make Their lives happier; but guilt can be your best friend, telling you that you have done wrong and something needs to be done about it.  The only something that will work is to come in repentance to Jesus for the forgiveness that only He can give. It is no good to try to turn over a new leaf or do something good to the person you have wronged.  That might be a nice thing to do but it does not stop the fact that you have done wrong.  Human beings are all in the same boat.  You and I may not be mass murderers but we have broken the most important commandment, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all heart and soul and mind.” The best way to honour God is to accept the salvation He offers in Jesus.  Unless we can be totally perfect always, we have no hope of receiving God’s forgiveness unless we come to Jesus and trust in Him alone.

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.

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.
