JAC Online

Editorial Introduction
by Major Stephen Court

 

Welcome to JAC92.  Praise the Lord.

 

What a line-up this edition!  We’ve got contributions from near the northern-most Salvation Army presence in the world and down near the southernmost presence and a lot of places in between.

 

We’ve got soldier through general.  We’ve got prayer and justice and intimacy with God and evangelising and holiness and more. 

 

We start with General Paul Rader’s presentation 20 years ago to the National Forum in Chicago.  It is a visionary document called That Christ Alone May Have The First Place In All Things! and is based on Colossians 1.

 

Brent Gaines, a soldier in USA Southern, follows up with an Outreach Primer.  This is battle-tested and live-fire proven advice for those interested in engaging in the salvation war. 

 

UKI Territory’s Lieutenant Vanessa Coleman is CO of UKI Territory’s first Prayer Beacon – Banbury Corps.  The corps is entering year seven in that capacity and the soldiers are entering a Sabbath Year!  How intriguing!  Read on…

 

Major Harold Hill, based in New Zealand, teaches Worship In The Salvation Army various places.  And now, even if you aren’t in one of his classes, you can read the basis of his teaching.

 

Lieutenant Beth White preached on the Ascension of Jesus in Acts 1:1-11 at the Glebe Corps in Australia Eastern Territory.  Here is Don’t Just Stand There. 

 

Just today, I suggested that someone invite ten friends to our meeting.  The reply came back on the screen – I don’t have ten friends.  Envoy Charles Roberts, USA Eastern, teaches about The Art Of Spiritual Friendship.  Read up and take notes.

 

Captain Andy Miller, corps officer in USA Southern, explains his motivation for his characteristic exhortation Forward To The Fight.  You’ll appreciate it.

 

Soldier Casey O’Brien, Australia Eastern, asks and answers, Who Is My Neighbour?  This ends her four-part series in JAC. 

 

Soldier Aaron White, Canada and Bermuda, analyses the Practical, Accessible, Inward Holiness of John Wesley.  Wesley is the spiritual grandfather of The Salvation Army and holiness is one of our crucial characteristics. 

 

Captain Scott Strissel, from USA Central, offers a Warning: Dear Salvatoin Army, We Are Losing Our Young People.  It also provides the solution.  Read and apply.

 

Cadet Nicola Poore, Australia Eastern, reviews the book Jesus Feminist.  The Salvation Army is philosophically egalitarian in its treatment of men and women and this review will interest those wondering about this perspective.

 

Captain Ruth Gillingham, Canada and Bermuda, gives us a glimpse into her daily rations, in Steep Time Defined.  We’re not even going to give away the treasure – read it yourself. 

 

Commissioner Wesley Harris, Australia Southern, shares a few stories to show that we are all Persons Of Influence, whether we know it or not.  Let’s be intentional.

 

We’re grateful to each contributor and to Major Don Grad, who operates the site.  JAC is free.  Read it, share it, apply it.  You have two months to read this as the current issue.  If you finish early, you can read up all of the back issues in the archives.  Meanwhile, may God inspire your relationship with Him and your warfighting for Him.
