I cannot say I have ever suffered much persecution. We suffer more from apathy in the U.K. Many of our churches have been steered so far off course that there is no need for anyone to persecute them. As a young women I used to read about persecuted Christians. I don't know quite how I dare to address my brethren who are suffering persecution. I'm sure you know far better than I do that your Lord is with you and will be always. This world's troubles are hard to deal with at the time, but we have to realize that there is a most glorious future for us when we join our Lord in heaven. What a wonderful day that will be. Look up, always look up.
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.
