Editorial Introduction
by
Major Stephen Court
Welcome to the 76th
edition of Journal of Aggressive Christianity. There is a wide
range of content in this issue. We encourage you to share it
widely through your networks.
We
start with a JAC exclusive interview with General Linda Bond.
How did we score that, you ask? Well, it is from JAC13, back
when the General was a Colonel. But the questions remain
pertinent and some of the answers are even more interesting
now that she is the international leader of The Salvation
Army.
Commissioner Wesley Harris writes In Praise Of Enthusiasm. In
his classic style the Commissioner highlights a wonderful
Salvationist trait though winsome exhortation.
Captain Michael Ramsay also exhorts us, in Say It! Know It! Do
It!, a breakdown of two key verses in Romans 10. This one is
great to share with your friends who are not relying on the
Lord Jesus Christ yet for forgiveness and salvation.
While Ramsay explains salvation to us, Officer X shows us how
Salvation Works in this stirring testimony of a Junior
Soldier’s impact on her local school. Read this, be
challenged, and share it with all of the junior soldiers and
corps cadets that you know.
Captain Mark Braye engages with John’s first epistle and
Bonhoeffer’s Life Together in an article called Love And Life
In Community. For those looking to cultivate authentic
Christian community in your corps and on your local front
these words will help.
The Ammonite
Uprising takes a second look at
Israel during a difficult period, at the
cause of
Israel’s struggles, the
solution, and the effects. There might even be some
application for us, today!
During this busy Christmas season, as temptations are
ubiquitous, Major Danielle Strickland takes another look a
Greed. It is one of the seven deadly sins. And we're equipped
by God to conquer it.
Back in JAC4 we carried a piece called Doing The Right Thing,
on abortion. You can read it for free in the archives on the
front page of JAC. In that same vein is Pro-Life Or Just
Anti-Abortion-On-Demand? We expect it will ruffle some
feathers.
We accept submissions for consideration
at revolution @ mmccxx.net.
May God use these articles to encourage, instruct, inspire,
and edify you in the salvation war.
