I've just had the television on in the background and there was talk of Isis in the Middle East and a bomb on the Underground in Britain and then someone was speaking of the gun mass murders that happen in the U.S.A. With all these things happening around us every day when are we going to see sense and realize that we are all sinners. If we are being nice people it is only because the wrong provocations haven't come along. Put in a different position we would all reach for the gun and call it self defence. Put somewhere with limited food and water we would fight to survive. If you are prepared to gossip about your neighbour you are capable of more than just character assassination. I remember as a school girl really not liking someone and wishing they would move away. That has the seeds of murder in it. Most people will say I am talking rubbish and move on to another blog, but if you are perturbed by what I say, maybe you would also like to know the solution to the problem. There is only one man who ever lived a completely sinless life, that is Jesus. He says, "Come to me and I will give you rest." He frees us from the law which no one can keep perfectly and puts His spirit in our hearts giving us a desire to please Him.
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.
