Editorial Introduction
by Major Stephen Court
Welcome To JAC95.
This is the 95th edition of Journal of Aggressive
Christianity, that is produced every two months online for
free starting way back in the last century.
We keep stirring things up at JAC and this
issue is no exception.
We’ve got several first-time appearances on its
‘pages’, as well as the resurrection of that popular feature,
the JAC Exclusive.
This is how it all unfolds.
Captain June Knop, based in Melbourne
Australia, for The Significance of the Life and Work of
Charles G Finney in the lives of William and Catherine Booth
and Foundational Practices of The Salvation Army, has done
significant research and we get to reap the benefits.
Historic detail and analysis will inspire application
and strategy.
Read ready.
Envoy Charles Roberts lives and fights in
Long Island, NY.
Life is busy, challenging, hard.
The Power Of One highlights the focus that can become
the solution.
Simon Court is a writer in Toronto, Canada
and his short story The Centurion offers a creative glimpse
into one possible back story to a famous event.
How do we keep worship from becoming an
idol? Cadet
Jonathan Taube, currently based in Chicago, USA, is Smashing
Snakes and you will want to get a glimpse of the carnage.
And our JAC Exclusive Feature: Some Young
Guns In Red
These comrades have a lot of back story that
doesn’t all percolate through the interviews.
Feel free to chase them down in the salvosphere to
follow up.
Interview with Lieutenant Arwyn Rodriguera –
intriguing USA Western officer.
Here’s one line: “I honestly believe the best way to
influence someone is to shut up and let people feel what they
feel without condemning them.”
Interview with Lieutenant Nicola Poore –
fascinating Australia Eastern officer.
An out-take?
“I am a sponge.”
Interview with Lieutenant Vanessa Coleman –
thoroughly engaged UK officer.
Here’s a teaser: “What fires me up is seeing people who
live with that kind of passion and commitment in the twenty
first century.”
Interview with Captain Glenis Viera – fiery
USA Southern officer.
How about this? “As I looked up there was Jesus sitting
with his arms opened signaling me to go to him.”
Interview with Captain Peter Hobbs –
effective Australia Southern officer.
“By the power of the Holy Spirit His living presence
drove me to be a disciple myself and show the world this new
reality.”
Interview with Captain Peter Brookshaw –
magnetic Australia Southern officer.
Among other things… “how do you not only mobilize the
army, but mobilize it, so that in fact you witness global
transformation?”
We wrap up JAC95 with Commissioner Wesley
Harris, who, with 80+ years experience, in his short piece
Carpe Diem, urges us to employ the latest technology in the
salvation war.
That’s it.
What’s the big deal?
Well, if it inspires or instructs you to love Jesus
more fervently and fight for Him more effectively, that’s a
big deal. Let’s
make it a big deal.
