Editorial Introduction
Greetings in Jesus’ name. Mercy and peace to you from God our
Father. Welcome to JAC62.
Our sixty-second issue of JAC promises to encourage and
instruct, provoke and edify. As usual, contributors receive no
remuneration for their articles. They are presented here to
the glory of God.
Canadian Salvationist Ian Gillngham starts off JAC62 with some
deep teaching called ‘The Love and The Hidden Treasure’. Grab
your Bible so that you can have it open as you dig into this
one.
Major Geoff Webb, Training Principal in Pakistan, provides an
excerpt, 'Individual v. Corporate Holiness', from a
forthcoming book, HOLINESS INCORPORATED. You'll have to wait
until later in 2009 to read the whole thing.
Canadian Captain Michael Ramsay could be accused of having a
one-track mind – COVENANT. In his latest offering, also an
excerpt from a forthcoming book, ‘O.T. Salvationists’, Ramsay
does some solid teaching on Numbers 6.
The Bible emphasis continues with American Sergeant Cory
Harrison and ‘New Exodus’. Cory also makes a challenging
application of Old Testament teaching to Salvationist
experience.
I’ve got a short response to General William Booth’s vision
‘Who Cares?’ called ‘Who Cares?’
Australian Major Daryl Crowden, who has served on a few
continents in his day, offers up ‘The Art of Gentle
Revolution’, some solid teaching on change and transformation
from the perspectives of enculturation, acculturation, and 'conculturation'.
The Welshman Commissioner Wesley Harris gives us a thumbnail
sketch of a famous old Australian Salvo, ‘Fighting Mac’.
Australian Salvationist Anthony Castle shares 'Stuff I've been
thinking about.' Don't let the title fool you. This is
explosive, incendiary stuff. Put on your seat belt before
embarking on this one.
American Major David Laeger continues an occasional series
with a poem, ‘Uttermost’ based on Hebrews 7:25.
‘Demonised Salvos?’ is the title of a short piece that puts
this aspect of spiritual warfare into Salvation Army context.
And Commissioner Harris, inspired by an old song and a new
soul-saving campaign, wraps up this edition with ‘Then Who
Wouldn’t Be a Soldier?’
Thanks for your patronage. If you finish up before JAC63 is
due, feel free to dig through the complete archives, a
decade’s worth of salvo resource.
God bless The Salvation Army
