Introduction

Greetings in
Jesus' name.
Welcome to issue 41. This is a powerful collection of writing
guaranteed to spur you on to love and good deeds. So feel free
telling ten friends to join in the experience.
Captain Danielle Strickland sets the tone of this issue with a
RANT on the married women officer ghetto. Hold on to your hats
for this wild ride and then give it a little thought (and, you
bosses reading, some response, please).
Captain Matt Clifton blesses us with REVOLUTIONARY PRAYER, a
powerful, Biblical exhortation on repentance, prayer, and
fasting for revolution. Read this article. I expect eternity
will be changed as we faithfully respond to it.
Major Gregory Morgan's Great Aunt Sally humurously nudges us
to the mirror and then shocks the comfort out of us. His
suggestions toward a more intentionally missional future are
worth exploring and implementing.
Jason Pope presents his research on Intentionally Including
Illegal Immigrants through Incarnational Ministry in an
article representing his heart and current mission that offers
useful models and support for the war on your front.
More meat coming right at you with Major Janet Munn tackling
The Disciplines. Read it with the intention to apply the
lessons learned.
Then we change gears a bit and throw some simple exhortation
at you as:
Jason Collier declares what it takes to be Part of the
Revolution; and,
Xander Coleman reminisces about the 1979 Year of the Laymen;
and,
Cadet Michael Ramsay reminds us that Friends Don't Let The
Friends Go To Hell; and,
Captain Amy Reardon looks back, Not Long Ago, about how we
have over-compromised with the world (important consideration
as we look to shape the things to come).
Lieutenant Rowan Castle thinks Salvationists Are Crazy! See
for yourself!
Commissioner Harris finishes his delightful series on
Salvation Souvenirs with a Little Soldier (that carries on a
discussion from the armybarmy blog on children in warfare) and
a clock (well worth the punch line read).
There is a short holiness article called That Holy Thing and
Patricia King takes The Greatest Aim.
Our parent site, armybarmy.com, has just finished renovations
that have included the insertion of a search engine on this
site that allows you to search all the back issues. This is an
amazing resource that will simplify your research.
Let's not hog this resource. Recommend your favourite articles
to friends, blog about them, print them for your cell groups
and corps. Let's spread the instruction to further our
world-winning mission.
God bless The Salvation Army.
Stay close to Jesus. Keep fighting as warriors. Much grace. I
remain,
Yours in the struggle for the devil's jugular,
Stephen Court
