That helps :-) @Mark - would love your thoughts. @Natha - wow. very helpful thought. I hadn't thought about heaping my praise onto God. Very good, and rather freeing.

I received very many complements and words on how God had used it to change people. I asked my dad about how to deal with pride from the complements. He told me this, "after you speak approach God with all the praise you've received and offer it up as a burnt offering to God." Kinda esoteric but it's always worked well for me. Being in the image of God we are to reflect God's glory from God to man. Can we also reflect or redirect man's praise to God as well? I believe with real humility we can.

Praise is a hard thing to take (strangely!) By the way i thought the sermon was rubbish. (Obviously i'm joking!)
