Panic Stations



How often when something suddenly becomes a problem, we panic. It is as if problems are not common place, whereas life is full of problems.  We just need to know how to tackle them one step at a time.  Everyone has ways to tackle these problems.  The first way is to panic!  It has taken me a long time to cope with this in life, probably because my problems have mostly been very small.  This morning I began to panic when I remembered   that my usual road to go to my Russian lesson was closed.    How would I manage? Panic began to set in but then I remembered that all things are in God’s hands.  Now that alone is not enough to stop panic; because God might want something bad to happen to me;  but no, I am accepted in the beloved (Jesus) and God loves me as He loves His Son(amazing!)   Yes God might plan some difficulty for me, but it would ultimately be for His glory and my good.  If you can’t trust God (when you are a Christian) who can you trust?  We had better all put our trust in Jesus ; it’s the only way to be safe for time and eternity.

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.
