JAC Online

Editorial Introduction
by Major Stephen Court

Greetings in Jesus’ name!  Mercy and peace to you from God our Father.  I trust the battle progresses well on your front.

 

Thanks for dropping by JAC70.  You have stumbling onto a goldmine of edifying, challenging material in this issue and the 69 issues archived and available for free on the table of contents page.

 

The Raders kick off this issue with a primary document. TRANSFORMATIONS was delivered this year in cities across the Australia Southern Territory at the McPherson Lecture Series.  It is privilege to read ‘Rader thoughts’ at any time, and this substantial lecture is certain to challenge and edify.

 

Major Howard Webber’s book, MEETING JESUS, is selling all over the place.  You will want to read it.  THE MAIN THING is the second of two excerpts he’s blessed JAC with.  This is great material to inform evangelism.

 

Lieut-Colonel Munn, the principal of the International College for Officers, offers us the second primary document of this issue, with HOLINESS MOVEMENT – TIME TO BE HOLY, a lecture delivered this year to the international youth holiness institute of that name at ICO.

 

Captain Michael Ramsay’s brand new book PRAISE THE LORD FOR COVENANTS is filling a need in Salvation Army praxis.  But he proves that this new book is not the last word on the subject by contributing A VERY MOVING COVENANT that will be of special interest to one important contingent of soldiers around the world.

 

Jonathan Evans leads The War College in Vancouver.  And it is out of years of experience that he offers an academic take on INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP COMMUNITIES.

 

More than a century ago one Salvationist wrote A NOTE OF WARNING in Contemporary Review (1898).  Read J Hollins’s piece here.  Though there is much with which to disagree, there is much about which to debate for Salvationists today.

 

General William Booth provides another century-old article for JAC70, with the second in a three-part series called A HIGHER UP RELIGION.

 

Our regular columnist, Commissioner Wesley Harris, who, by the way, has his tenth book coming out soon, advises us, IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED…

 

And, since there is a High Council meeting during the shelf life of this issue, we offer some suggestions for those gathering to prayerfully consider and discuss.

 

And, that’s that!  JAC70!  What a treasure chest!  Dig in.  Share it with your friends, your comrade soldiers, your facebook friends, and anyone else you think might be interested in the contents.

 

This is a historic issue.  By the time the next issue arrives on your screen (scheduled for February 1, 2011, unless Jesus returns first), the whole Salvation Army will have been mobilized and deployed in day and night cry for justice – non-stop prayer in response to the bold Global Call from the General.  All glory to God for the Call, and in anticipation of our response.

 

God bless The Salvation Army.
