Editorial Introduction
by Major Stephen Court
Greetings in Jesus' name.
Mercy and peace to you from God our Father. Welcome to
JAC158 and our new rhythm.
It will be worth the wait, as we've got heaps of
edification filling the pages of this issue, and all from four
sources in four territories.
Leading off, Stephen McQuire (Morley,
Australia) asks, 'Where Are The Soldiers?'
Good question.
He outlines some of the younger generations' issues
with soldiership and then reimagines it for the future.
Steve Bussey (USA Eastern) follows up
with a prophetic trilogy:
i)
Be In Time: An ancient and urgent call for Salvation
Army prophets to serve the present age;
ii)
Contend, elaborating on a prophetic word giving at a
recent salvo leadership event;
iii)
Four Catalysts for Reviving Movements, and all
conveniently starting with the letter 'C'.
Phil Laeger (USA Southern) offers two
musically inspired pieces:
i)
New Songs For Our First Love, addressing the question,
'what if The Salvation Army just isn’t made to excel in
worship leading and worship songwriting?';
ii)
My Father's Business, a devotional from Jesus' famous
childhood quote, riffing on a song composed for the occasion
of the Salvo Centenary in Burnaby.
And Danielle Strickland (Harvest,
Canada & Bermuda) exhorts us to 'Let The Heads Roll'.
There is enough to pray through, be
inspired by, and implement til Jesus returns.
May God edify you and yours in the process.
Stay close to Jesus.
Much grace.
