Editorial Introduction
by
Major Stephen Court
JAC77. It
sounds a bit like a sport car. And it reads a bit like
one, too. It hugs a few crazy turns in topics, looks
sharp as people peek over your shoulder in the café, and goes
from 0 to 60 in no time flat.
And its exotic.
Where else can you find features on Xander, Ezra, and Omri,
topics like extraordinary prayer, evangelism, and disco, and
exhortations to be a finisher, to be exceptional (in a certain
kind of way), and to turn the world upside down?
Some are saying
that 2012 is The Year Of DISCO. So we start by asking
the question on the tip of everyone’s tongues, “Can DisCo Save
The World?”
And then,
moving from the ridiculous to the sublime, Lieut-Colonel Janet
Munn gives us “A Short History of Fasting.”
SA Global 24/7
Prayer interviews Lieutenant Xander Coleman in Prayer Beacon
in the Community.
Just as
evangelizing should be preceded by prayer, Lieutenant James
Thompson’s article “The Motivating Disaster” follows Coleman’s
article.
Major Danielle
Strickland dips into her marathon experience to exhort,
“Finish What You Started.”
When is the
last time you read an article on King Omri? Lieutenant
Rachel Sheils fills this gap and asks the question, “How Did
You Make God Laugh?”
Then we end
with a trio of articles: There are two ways to be spiritually
exceptional; then we wonder, “Where’s Ezra?”; and finally we
look at the apostle Paul and how he shaped “A World Turned
Upside Down.”
Read it like a
sports car. Test out its power. See how it handles the
issues. And then show it off to your friends.
