So many of today's establishments are based on the pride of man in what man can do and achieve in his own strength. Our universities are full of this pride , especially our scientists who never stop to think how often, after some wonderful revelation of theirs they have to admit they got it wrong five years down the line. In Britain we were once told that eggs were bad for us because of the cholesterol in them. Sometime later we were told eggs had good cholesterol and we could eat as many as we liked. There is no trusting these self glorifying people. I have noticed that such people are lacking in common sense. They fill their heads with equations but hardly know how to look after themselves on a practical level. They say "Pride comes before a fall." Although this is a misquote, it is true. When man thinks so much of himself he is in for a rude awakening. If his life consists of his cleverness he will one day come down to earth with a bump. When he finally meets with His Maker all his academic prowess will count for nothing. The big question will be, "What have you done with Jesus?"
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.
