Editorial Introduction
by Major
Stephen Court
Greetings in Jesus' name.
Mercy and peace to you from God our Father.
Welcome to the 152nd edition of Journal of Aggressive
Christianity.
We're excited about JAC152.
What makes it stand out is the variety of types of
papers.
Envoy Roy Snapp-Kolas was promoted to
Glory in 2024. He
completed his doctoral work (and degree) in 2023 and we've
secured permission to run his research project, EXPLORING
MISSION DRIFT WITH SALVATION ARMY LEADERS.
Mission Drift is a current issue in The Salvation Army,
with General Lyndon Buckingham speaking about it this year,
and JAC151 running an article on it!
This paper is an important contribution to the
discussion, and ideally, toward the strategy for us to advance
the mission to win the world for Jesus.
We salute Envoy Snapp-Kolas for this research, and much
more, for his life and example and legacy.
Though RSK's piece makes JAC152 one of
the longest ever all by itself, there is even more to JAC152!
Next, we've got a JAC Exclusive Interview with author
Major Pete Brookshaw, whose latest book, WHO AM I TO CHANGE
THE WORLD?, comes out this month.
Brookshaw, based in Perth Australia, offers some
insights into the book, and into Salvation Life for JAC
readers.
From USA Eastern Territory, Steve
Bussey contributes the first of two JAC152 pieces, this from
our holiness perspective on PURITY.
JAC152 also features a Book Excerpt:
SECRET SAUCE, from the forthcoming book, GRANDEST by Major
Terence Hale.
GRANDEST is a straightforward evangelistic book inspired by
the life and teaching of Commissioner George Scott Railton and
co-authored with the JAC editor.
It will be useful for Corps and Social Units to
distribute to clients and customers.
Commissioner Joe Noland engages in our
JAC Exclusive STILL Interview about his latest title, “Still!
The Church Culture Clash”.
Steve Bussey's second JAC152 article
addresses confusion of the issue of INERRANCY?
What a JAC!
And in the impressive eventuality that you complete
JAC152 before JACT153 is due or out Jesus returns (whichever
comes first), you can always scroll through the archives and
(re)read the previous 151 issues.
Enjoy.
Share. Stay close
to Jesus.
Much grace.
